INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 534 Lafayette Ct, Hazleton, PA, 18201 in Hazleton the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 5.17%. The 5.17% gross yield on a $270,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $74,596 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.96) 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: $63,845.
