Who this property is for

Three ways this deal works — and who each one fits

The same property is a great buy for one investor and a trap for another. Here's the honest read.

Best fit

1031 / high-equity buyer

~$123.5K

Year-1 tax shield

Buying with cash or low leverage removes the debt-coverage problem entirely, so the thesis rests on appreciation plus a large first-year write-off. At roughly 25% of purchase price, the shield is substantial enough to carry the deal on its own.

Best fit

Price-disciplined buyer

$574.7K

Break-even purchase price

The deal already breaks even at or above the Zestimate, so you don't need a discount to make the math work. Buy at asking and the numbers still hold — rare enough in Kingston to be worth moving on.

Workable

DSCR cash-flow buyer

1.15

DSCR at asking

The property covers its debt service at asking but sits below the 1.20 most lenders want to see, so expect a larger down payment or a rate buy-down to get it financed. There's no margin for a soft season.

Year-one tax shield estimate

For a buyer who materially participates and qualifies for the STR tax treatment.

$123.5K

Estimated first-year deduction · range $102.5K–$140.8K

Purchase price: $500,000
Land allocation (excluded): −$175,000
Depreciable basis: $325,000
Cost-seg accelerated: $97,500
+ Bonus depreciation & furnishings: $26,000

Why this matters here

At a marginal bracket, this deduction can be worth $37.9K–$52.1K in estimated federal tax saved.

This only applies if you meet the IRS material-participation tests for short-term rentals and are not using a full-service property manager.

Estimate, subject to CPA review. Cost-segregation percentages shown here are illustrative and depend on an actual study of the property.

Some states do not conform to federal bonus depreciation, so your state may not allow the same first-year treatment shown above.

Chalet can introduce a cost-segregation partner — this is not tax, legal, or financial advice.

Price sensitivity & break-even

How cash-on-cash return moves with purchase price. The marked line is break-even (1.0 DSCR).

Projection, not a promise.

Assumes 5.0% annual appreciation, 1.5% rent growth (operating costs held flat), and that the property qualifies for short-term-rental tax treatment. The year-1 depreciation shield depends on a real cost-segregation study and your tax situation — consult a CPA.

Appreciation is the dominant driver of this return. When cash flow is negative, the deal depends on the property gaining value — it is not paying for itself from income.

Appreciation, rent growth, and financing rates are editable under Edit financials.
