Price reduction. Why spend wasted time commuting endless hours to work when you can live affordably right in the heart of Memorial. Minutes from downtown, the medical center, the Galleria and all that's available in this dynamic area. Come live in this gated community with a beautiful and peaceful courtyard, community pool and its lovely setting. Just a great environment. Ride the elevator or walk the stairs located on the second floor. Walk through the front door into space, volume and light. Also, take note of the huge primary bedroom and family room. Formal dining, roomy kitchen and the washer, dryer and refrigerator will stay. VERY IMPORTANT: the monthly maintenance fees include all utilities (electricity, water, sewer, trash service, high-speed internet, cable TV, security, and even pest control). You get what you pay for. Pex plumbing lines recently installed. Also: insulated double pane windows. Bufalos Bayou Park, Loop 610 all so convenient. Save money.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 1-bed/1.0-bath condo listed at $126k.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $-673 ($-8k/yr) — negative.
  • To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $49k (61.0% below list).
  • Meets the 1% rule at list price ($1k rent vs $126k).
  • Recommended offer: $49k (61.0% below list) — sets the bar for cash-flow.
  • Cap rate 0.5% vs local median 3.2% in Houston — below-typical yield; the buyer is paying a premium for something (appreciation thesis, condition, location) that the cap rate doesn't capture.

Location & tenants

  • Location reads 74/100 on livability (#184 in TX, #4,771 nationally) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: amenities A+, cost of living A+, housing A+; Watch: crime F.
  • Spring Branch ISD (urban): math 47% / reading 46% proficiency, ranked #215 of 826 in TX (top 26%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
  • Zoned schools: Hunters Creek El (math 76% / reading 66%, grade A-, #128 of 4,322 statewide, top 3%, 604 students, 18% FRL); Spring Branch Middle (math 55% / reading 49%, grade C+, #301 of 1,662 statewide, top 19%, 1,074 students, 39% FRL); Memorial H S (math 73% / reading 85%, grade A-, #50 of 1,632 statewide, top 3%, 2,555 students, 16% FRL) — zoned schools average 24% FRL vs 54% district-wide (30 pts lower); this property's tenant base skews higher-income than the district average.
  • Zoned-school proficiency averages 67% at this address vs 46% district-wide (+21 pts) — the actual schools serving this property are materially stronger than the Spring Branch ISD average implies; a family-tenant draw the district grade alone would hide.
  • Market conditions: Rents rising fast (+5.0%/yr); 313 active listings in the ZIP; 40 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals leasing fast (median 12d on market — plan ~1-2 weeks tenant-placement turnaround); high-income renter base; 29,883 units permitted in Harris County in 2024 (8,621 in 5+ unit buildings).

Forward outlook

  • In year one you build about $10k of equity ($875 loan paydown + $9k appreciation (6.9% local appreciation)).
  • Harris County population projected at +47% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.
  • By year 4, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$33k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 90 days — a 6% lower offer ($119k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
  • Current owner paid $38k; list at $126k implies a 229% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.

Risks & watch-outs

  • Watch-outs: property tax is 2.8% of price; flood insurance adds $66/mo; HOA is 50% of rent.
  • Climate carrying-cost: major flood risk; severe wind risk, 99% chance of damaging wind over 30y; extreme-heat days projected 7→24/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Recommended offer $49,300 (61.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. 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?
  2. It's been on market 90 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 61% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
  3. Built in 1970 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
  4. Property tax is high relative to price — has the assessment been appealed recently, and will the sale trigger a re-assessment?
  5. What's the actual annual flood-insurance premium (NFIP or private), and is the property in a SFHA with mandatory coverage?
  6. What does the HOA fee cover, when was the last increase, and are there any pending special assessments or reserve-fund shortfalls?
  7. 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?
  8. Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
  9. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  10. 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?
  11. Crime grade is F in this area — have there been break-ins, vandalism, or insurance claims at this property in the last 3 years? What carrier currently insures it and at what premium?
  12. 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?
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
