INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 218 Parkside Pl #27, Lancaster, PA, 17602 in Lancaster the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.03%. The 4.03% gross yield on a $588,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $162,702 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.75) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread. Total projected cumulative return: $103,343.
