Listing remarks

NEW FLOOR PLAN. Craftsman elevations and colors are striking and stone accents add to the richness of these elevations. The Cameron is a non-garage town home with space in all the right places. Four bedrooms and three and a half baths come included in this amazing floor plan. The main living area is open and well lit. The included kitchen island is enormous. The over sized great room and separate dining area are icing on the cake. The bedroom level includes 3 spacious bedrooms, a private bath for the owner's suite and a second full bath for family and friends. The bedroom level laundry offers convenience you don't find in most town homes.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 4-bed/3.5-bath condo listed at $398k. Condition is rated good.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $-367 ($-4k/yr) — negative.
  • To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $345k (13.3% below list).
  • To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $310k (22.1% below list).
  • Recommended offer: $310k (22.1% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
  • Cap rate 5.2% vs local median 3.6% in White Marsh — 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 83/100 on livability (#30 in MD, #1,037 nationally) — a professional / high-income tenant draw. Strengths: employment A+, housing A+, health & safety A+; Watch: cost of living D-.
  • Baltimore County Public Schools (suburban): math 15% / reading 34% proficiency, ranked #11 of 24 in MD (top 46%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover.
  • Zoned schools: Vincent Farm Elementary (math 10% / reading 24%, grade F, #408 of 860 statewide, top 50%, 735 students, 52% FRL); Perry Hall Middle (math 15% / reading 46%, grade F, #64 of 225 statewide, top 28%, 1,754 students, 40% FRL); Perry Hall High (math 19% / reading 57%, grade F, #137 of 222 statewide, top 62%, 2,029 students, 45% FRL).
  • Market conditions: 45 active listings in the ZIP; 1 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; high-income renter base; 1,511 units permitted in Baltimore County in 2024 (643 in 5+ unit buildings).

Forward outlook

  • Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $3k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $12k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
  • Baltimore County population projected at +12% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 95 days — a 9% lower offer ($362k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer $309,900 (22.1% 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 95 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 22% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
  3. What does the HOA fee cover, when was the last increase, and are there any pending special assessments or reserve-fund shortfalls?
  4. 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?
  5. Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
  6. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  7. 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?
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
