INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 55-57 Ridgeway Ave, West Orange, NJ, 07052 in West Orange the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.1%. The 4.1% gross yield on a $1,000,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $276,282 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.75) 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: $34,626.
