Investor read
This is a 2-bed/2.0-bath condo listed at $175k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $-329 ($-4k/yr) — negative.
To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $117k (33.2% below list).
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($2k rent vs $175k).
It's been on market 18 days — a 2% lower offer ($172k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $117k (33.2% below list) — sets the bar for cash-flow.
In year one you build about $2k of equity ($1k loan paydown + $706 appreciation (0.4% local appreciation)).
Location reads 70/100 on livability (#450 in FL) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: crime A+, employment A, housing A; Watch: amenities F, commute F, cost of living F.
Brevard (suburban): math 53% / reading 57% proficiency, ranked #19 of 73 in FL (top 26%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
Zoned schools: Quest Elementary School (math 83% / reading 80%, grade A+, #90 of 2,144 statewide, top 4%, 691 students, 20% FRL); John F. Kennedy Middle School (math 67% / reading 59%, grade B+, #111 of 571 statewide, top 20%, 673 students, 41% FRL); Viera High School (math 58% / reading 71%, grade B-, #78 of 667 statewide, top 13%, 2,289 students, 15% FRL) — zoned schools average 25% FRL vs 43% district-wide (18 pts lower); this property's tenant base skews higher-income than the district average.
Zoned-school proficiency averages 70% at this address vs 55% district-wide (+15 pts) — the actual schools serving this property are materially stronger than the Brevard average implies; a family-tenant draw the district grade alone would hide.
Watch-outs: HOA is 36% of rent.
Market conditions: Rents rising (+2.0%/yr); 583 active listings in the ZIP; 20 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals at typical pace (median 15d on market — plan ~3-4 weeks tenant-placement turnaround); high-income renter base; 4,602 units permitted in Brevard County in 2024 (702 in 5+ unit buildings).
Brevard County population projected at +15% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.
6 sale attempts since 16y 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.
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.
Schools are A-rated — typically a magnet for longer-tenancy family renters. What's the average tenant stay here, and is there a school-zone premium baked into asking?
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.
