Market Analysis: 03076 Pelham

ZIP 03076 in Pelham, NH carries a robust set of headwinds. Home values near $691K and rents of $1,728/mo sit inside a market where underwriting has to be tight.

Rent of $1,728/mo on a $691K basis reads well until vacancy, delinquency, and capex enter the model. The honest cap rate in 03076 sits below the stated 0.0% once reality is priced in.

In the broader NH picture, 03076 is a reminder that not every low-priced ZIP is a value-add opportunity — some are simply distressed, and the difference matters.

Resident income in 03076 sits below the county median. That reality colors rent collection, vacancy, and reinvestment math in ways that outside investors often underestimate.

Experienced landlords with local relationships tend to find 03076 workable. Turnkey investors from out of state usually find the numbers do not hold up in practice.

Negative Leverage — IRR / Tax Play Cap Rate: 2.0%  |  30yr Rate: 6.8%
Leverage reduces cash returns at current rates.

The current 30-yr mortgage rate (6.8%) exceeds the estimated cap rate (2.0%). Financing reduces your cash-on-cash return below the cap rate. Markets like this may still make sense as IRR plays — factoring in appreciation, depreciation, and a future refinance when rates drop.

About Repit School Scores

Traditional school ratings rely heavily on standardized test scores, which often reflect family income more than school quality. Repit takes a different approach.

We evaluate schools based on factors that research shows actually impact educational outcomes:

  • Class Size — Smaller classes mean more individual attention
  • School Funding — Resources available for programs, staff, and facilities
  • Community Factors — Neighborhood characteristics that influence student success
  • School Environment — Size, type, and structure

Scores are updated annually using federal education data.
