Investor read
This is a 3-bed/3.0-bath single-family listed at $170k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $-178 ($-2k/yr) — negative.
To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $138k (18.5% below list).
To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $119k (29.9% below list).
It's been on market 165 days — a 12% lower offer ($150k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $119k (29.9% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
In year one you build about $6k of equity ($1k loan paydown + $5k appreciation (3.0% local appreciation)).
Location reads 71/100 on livability (#322 in TX) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+, crime B+; Watch: health & safety C-, amenities F, commute F.
Mccamey ISD (rural): math 24% / reading 27% proficiency, ranked #708 of 826 in TX (top 86%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover.
Zoned schools: Mccamey Pri (math 27% / reading 27%, grade F, #2,791 of 4,322 statewide, top 68%, 209 students, 76% FRL); Mccamey Middle (math 22% / reading 27%, grade F, #1,279 of 1,662 statewide, top 78%, 153 students, 67% FRL); Mccamey H S (math 34% / reading 34%, grade F, #963 of 1,632 statewide, top 61%, 143 students, 59% FRL) — zoned schools average 67% FRL vs 40% district-wide (26 pts higher); higher-poverty schools than district average — tighter screening recommended.
Market conditions: 24 active listings in the ZIP.
Upton County population projected at +44% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.
3 sale attempts since 13y ago; this cycle's ask has dropped $20k (11%) from the opening price — seller is motivated, your offer sets the floor, not the list.
By year 6, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$33k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Climate carrying-cost: moderate wildfire risk; extreme-heat days projected 6→19/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
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 165 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 30% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
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?
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.
