INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 324 W 9th St, Erie, PA, 16502 in Erie the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 2.35%. The 2.35% gross yield on a $974,900 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $269,347 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.44) 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: $82,904.
