Investor read
This is a 2-bed/1.0-bath single-family listed at $88k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $340 ($4k/yr) — positive.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($1k rent vs $88k).
It's been on market 16 days — a 2% lower offer ($87k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $87k (1.5% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $608 of loan paydown is wiped out by about $3k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
Location reads: area grade B — affects rentability + tenant quality, not the cash-flow math above.
Perry Local (suburban): math 63% / reading 73% proficiency, ranked #173 of 656 in OH (top 26%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
Zoned schools: T C Knapp Elementary School (math 82% / reading 72%, grade A, #221 of 1,584 statewide, top 16%, 416 students, 24% FRL); Edison Middle School (math 61% / reading 75%, grade A-, #155 of 654 statewide, top 24%, 689 students, 37% FRL); Perry High School (math 36% / reading 72%, grade C-, #331 of 781 statewide, top 43%, 1,478 students, 30% FRL) — zoned schools at 30% FRL track the district average.
Watch-outs: built in 1950 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Market conditions: Rents rising fast (+6.7%/yr); 124 active listings in the ZIP; 2 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; 528 units permitted in Stark County in 2024 (84 in 5+ unit buildings).
Stark County population projected to shrink 8% by 2050 — rents likely to lag national; underwrite the cash flow, not the appreciation.
5 sale attempts since 32y 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.
At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 6.7% rent growth), your $25k cash investment doubles in ~6 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
Questions for listing agent
Built in 1950 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
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 for-sale + rental construction is in the pipeline within 1–3 miles? Heavy new supply typically softens prices + rents 12–24 months out; constrained supply supports both.
