INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 61 Lenox Ave #5D, New York, NY, 10026 in New York the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.31%. The 4.31% gross yield on a $1,035,000 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $285,951 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.80) 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: $189,111.
