INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 26 S 14th St, Allentown, PA, 18102 in Allentown the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.99%. The 5.99% gross yield on a $450,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $124,327 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.11) 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: $126,288.
