Listing remarks MLS

Tamarack Lodge sells their condos fractionally, similar to timeshares. This is Junior Penthouse Suite 2502 (Cedar) and is a 1,060 sq ft, 2br 2ba 5th floor penthouse unit that directly faces the water and has magnificent views of Lake Michigan's East Grand Traverse Bay. It has a private patio facing the water and the beach is as sandy as you can hope for, perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Comes turn key, fully furnished (beds, couches, tables, chairs, TVs, linens, etc), gas fireplace, well appointed kitchen complete with appliances, silverware, pots & pans, etc, and it has its own washer/dryer. The purchase price is a one time fee which guarantees week 20 every year (exact dates change slightly each year) for as long as you own the unit, pay the monthly HOA fee ($51), annual property taxes ($269) and cleaning fee ($210 at the end of the week). The HOA fee covers gas, electric, cable TV, WIFI, water, sewer, trash removal, snow removal, building insurance, content & liability insurance, outside and inside maintenance. Basically, after you pay the one time purchase price (plus approximately $1,000 in closing costs) your out of pocket expenses going forward are then only the monthly HOA, annual property taxes and the cleaning fee. This could be your "Up North" vacation destination for the years to come!

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 2-bed/2.0-bath condo listed at $13k.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $1k ($16k/yr) — positive.
  • The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
  • Meets the 1% rule at list price ($2k rent vs $13k).
  • Recommended offer: $13k (1.5% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
  • Cap rate 129.3% vs local median 1.7% in Traverse City — 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.

Location & tenants

  • Location reads 91/100 on livability (#4 in MI, #46 nationally) — a professional / high-income tenant draw. Strengths: amenities A+, commute A+, housing A+.
  • Traverse City Area Public Schools (town): math 45% / reading 56% proficiency, ranked #94 of 540 in MI (top 17%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
  • Market conditions: Rents soft (-0.5%/yr); 322 active listings in the ZIP; 3 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals lingering (median 44d on market — plan ~5-8 weeks vacancy on turnover, expect pricing pressure); 100% of comp listings sitting > 30 days — soft ceiling on asking rent; 883 units permitted in Grand Traverse County in 2024 (501 in 5+ unit buildings).
  • This rent runs 31% of the median local income ($72k/yr) — at the standard rent-burdened threshold; future hikes will face affordability resistance.

Forward outlook

  • Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $88 of loan paydown is wiped out by about $384 of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
  • Grand Traverse County population projected at +20% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.
  • At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 0.0% rent growth), your $4k cash investment doubles in ~1 year — after that, you're playing with house money.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 15 days — a 2% lower offer ($13k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
  • 12 sale attempts since 3y ago; this cycle's ask is 574% above the opening price — seller raised mid-cycle; expect resistance to lowballs.
  • Current owner paid $750; list at $13k implies a 1607% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
Recommended offer $12,608 (1.5% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. What does the HOA fee cover, when was the last increase, and are there any pending special assessments or reserve-fund shortfalls?
  2. 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?
  3. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  4. 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?
  5. 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?
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.

For passive investors: Depreciation is non-cash, so a rental often shows a tax loss while cash-flowing — sheltering income. Rental losses are passive: they offset passive income freely, and up to $25,000/yr can offset ordinary (W-2) income if you actively participate and your MAGI is under $100k (phasing out to $0 by $150k); unused losses carry forward. On sale, claimed depreciation is recaptured at up to 25%, and gains may owe capital-gains tax (a 1031 exchange can defer both). Figures are a year-1 estimate at your 24.0% rate — not tax advice; consult a CPA.
