Investor read

• This is a 5-bed/3.0-bath single-family listed at $317k. Condition is rated good.
• At list price, monthly cash flow is $-568 ($-7k/yr) — negative.
• To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $235k (25.9% below list).
• To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $205k (35.2% below list).
• It's been on market 33 days — a 3% lower offer ($307k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
• Recommended offer: $205k (35.2% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
• Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $2k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $10k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
• Location reads 64/100 on livability (#160 in SC) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+; Watch: employment D+, crime D, amenities F.
• Anderson 01 (rural): math 58% / reading 60% proficiency, ranked #3 of 80 in SC (top 4%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
• Zoned schools: Wren Elementary (math 74% / reading 68%, grade A-, #33 of 597 statewide, top 6%, 616 students, 43% FRL); Wren Middle (math 54% / reading 59%, grade B, #21 of 229 statewide, top 9%, 973 students, 46% FRL); Wren High (math 82% / reading 91%, grade A, #7 of 196 statewide, top 4%, 1,202 students, 40% FRL).
• Zoned-school proficiency averages 71% at this address vs 59% district-wide (+12 pts) — the actual schools serving this property are materially stronger than the Anderson 01 average implies; a family-tenant draw the district grade alone would hide.
• Market conditions: Rents soft (-2.7%/yr); 793 active listings in the ZIP; 1,255 units permitted in Anderson County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
• Anderson County population projected at +14% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.
• Climate carrying-cost: extreme-heat days projected 7→16/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
• This rent runs 35% of the median local income ($71k/yr) — at the standard rent-burdened threshold; future hikes will face affordability resistance.

Questions for listing agent

• What do current leases actually rent for vs. the listed asking? Can we see a recent rent roll and the last 12 months of T-12 income?
• It's been on market 33 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 35% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
• Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
• Schools are D-rated, which usually means shorter tenancies and higher turnover. Who's the typical renter profile here, and what's been the actual vacancy rate?
• Crime grade is D in this area — have there been break-ins, vandalism, or insurance claims at this property in the last 3 years? What carrier currently insures it and at what premium?
• The area grade is low — what's the realistic commute time and amenity access for the typical tenant pool here? Any planned neighborhood developments (good or bad) we should know about?
• What's the average days-on-market for RENTAL listings here right now (not sales)? A rising rental-DOM trend means longer vacancies and softer asking-rent achievability than the comps imply.
• What's the recent tenant-quality profile in this submarket — average credit score on applications, eviction rate, late-payment / NSF rate, and stable-employment percentage? A property-management company in the area should have these aggregated.
