INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Steady Equity Builder201 Beech Ln, Mercersburg, PA, 17236 in Mercersburg earns a respectable 7.97% gross yield at $287,000, but after the $1,291/mo mortgage the net cash flow is $26/mo, a tight but positive spread. Expense discipline (vacancy, management, maintenance) will determine whether the margin widens. Ziffy Mortgage's DSCR mortgage (1.48) still qualifies on property income; a larger down payment can improve the cash-flow buffer. Long-term, 5% appreciation projects $79,293 over five years, making equity the dominant return driver. Total projected return: $110,995.
