INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Solid IncomeThe 8.3% yield at 227 Protection Ave, North Adams, MA, 01247 in North Adams is solid, but the $1,286/mo payment compresses net cash flow to $191/mo at $285,900. This is a tight-spread property, income covers debt, with little cushion. For investors who can optimise occupancy, the upside is real: 5% annual appreciation adds $78,989 by year five, and $2,633/yr in loan paydown builds equity. Ziffy Mortgage qualifies this via DSCR (1.67) without U.S. income documentation. Total projected return: $130,566.
