Investor read
This is a 2-bed/2.0-bath manufactured listed at $130k. Condition is rated poor.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $281 ($3k/yr) — positive.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($1k rent vs $130k).
Only 14 days on market — expect competitive offers; lowballing is unlikely to land.
Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $899 of loan paydown is wiped out by about $4k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
Location reads 64/100 on livability (#164 in TN) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing B+; Watch: crime C-, health & safety C-, amenities F.
Dekalb County (rural): math 17% / reading 23% proficiency, ranked #115 of 139 in TN (top 83%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover.
Zoned schools: Smithville Elementary (599 students, 0% FRL); De Kalb County High School (math 12% / reading 32%, grade F, #163 of 332 statewide, top 51%, 807 students, 0% FRL) — zoned schools average 0% FRL vs 56% district-wide (56 pts lower); this property's tenant base skews higher-income than the district average.
Market conditions: 357 active listings in the ZIP; 143 units permitted in DeKalb County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
DeKalb County population projected at +7% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.
Current owner paid $55k; list at $130k implies a 136% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
Cap rate 8.9% vs local median 2.4% in Smithville — 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.
Questions for listing agent
Have any recent inspections been done? Can we get a copy of the seller's disclosures and any deferred-maintenance estimates?
Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
Schools are F-rated, which usually means shorter tenancies and higher turnover. Who's the typical renter profile here, and what's been the actual vacancy rate?
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.
