Investor read
This is a 2-bed/2.0-bath manufactured listed at $68k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $-116 ($-1k/yr) — negative.
To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $51k (24.7% below list).
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($935 rent vs $68k).
It's been on market 327 days — a 12% lower offer ($60k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $51k (24.7% below list) — sets the bar for cash-flow.
In year one you build about $7k of equity ($470 loan paydown + $7k appreciation (10.0% local appreciation)).
Location reads 72/100 on livability (#129 in KY) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: crime A+, cost of living A+, housing A+; Watch: amenities F, commute F, employment F.
Carroll County (town): math 12% / reading 23% proficiency, ranked #163 of 165 in KY (top 99%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover.
Zoned schools: Cartmell Elementary (math 12% / reading 17%, grade F, #627 of 676 statewide, top 93%, 410 students, 59% FRL); Carroll County Middle School (math 11% / reading 25%, grade F, #208 of 217 statewide, top 96%, 590 students, 59% FRL); Carroll County High School (math 17% / reading 22%, grade F, #213 of 254 statewide, top 86%, 572 students, 56% FRL) — zoned schools at 58% FRL track the district average.
Watch-outs: HOA is 41% of rent.
Market conditions: 60 active listings in the ZIP; 3 units permitted in Carroll County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
Carroll County population projected at -15% by 2050 — secular population decline; favor cash flow + early exit over multi-decade hold.
By year 5, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$34k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Climate carrying-cost: extreme-heat days projected 7→19/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Cap rate 4.2% vs local median 3.3% in Carrollton — meaningfully above typical; check what's discounted (condition, days-on-market, listing class) to confirm the premium yield is real.
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 327 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 25% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
What does the HOA fee cover, when was the last increase, and are there any pending special assessments or reserve-fund shortfalls?
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.
