Investor read
This is a 1-bed/1.0-bath condo listed at $125k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $-275 ($-3k/yr) — negative.
To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $85k (31.8% below list).
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($2k rent vs $125k).
Only 7 days on market — expect competitive offers; lowballing is unlikely to land.
Recommended offer: $85k (31.8% below list) — sets the bar for cash-flow.
In year one you build about $7k of equity ($864 loan paydown + $6k appreciation (4.6% local appreciation)).
Location reads 66/100 on livability (#455 in WI) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: crime A+, employment A-; Watch: amenities F, commute F, health & safety D-.
Gibraltar Area School District (rural): math 52% / reading 54% proficiency, ranked #45 of 342 in WI (top 13%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
Watch-outs: HOA is 40% of rent.
Market conditions: 103 active listings in the ZIP; 306 units permitted in Door County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
Door County population projected at -15% by 2050 — secular population decline; favor cash flow + early exit over multi-decade hold.
5 sale attempts since 9y ago with the ask held roughly flat each time — persistent listings suggest the price (not the market) is what's stuck; bring a comps-based counter.
By year 6, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$35k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Cap rate 3.7% vs local median 1.0% in Egg Harbor — top-decile yield for the area; either an underpriced asset or a hidden risk that comps aren't pricing in. Stress-test before assuming the spread holds.
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?
What does the HOA fee cover, when was the last increase, and are there any pending special assessments or reserve-fund shortfalls?
Any open or pending special assessments — roof, HVAC, plumbing, elevator, façade? What's the per-unit balance and payoff schedule, and is the seller paying it off at close or rolling it to the buyer?
Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
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.
How much new apartment / multifamily construction is in the pipeline within 1–3 miles? Heavy new supply (>2% of stock underway) typically softens rents 12–24 months out; light construction supports rent growth.
