INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 3131 N Gate Rd, Lake Ariel, PA, 18436 in Lake Ariel the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.91%. The 5.91% gross yield on a $268,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $74,043 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (1.10) 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: $63,212.
