INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 36 Waters Edge Way UNIT 2, Lake Placid, NY, 12946 in Lake Placid the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 1.68%. The 1.68% gross yield on a $1,200,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $331,538 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.31) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread.
