Prime investment opportunity that won't last long! This turnkey Class-A fourplex built in 2023, is located in Venus' highly sought-after Heritage Hills neighborhood, zoned to highly rated Midlothian Schools. Ideally situated just 30 minutes from both Dallas and Fort Worth, this fully stabilized opportunity features four units, a larger 3-bed 2-bath flat on the ground floor, a modern 2-bed 2-bath flat on the second floor and two townhouse-style 2-bed 1.5-bath units. Each unit has a dedicated one-car garage. The interiors boast high-end finishes throughout, including granite kitchen countertops with a tiled backsplash, recessed and pendant lighting over the breakfast bar, upscale wood-look plank tile flooring, upgraded carpet, and a luxurious walk-in master shower. All units are currently leased to long-term tenants at $1,795, $1,695, $1,595, and $1,495 per month, respectively, supported by a strong operating history, a low 2.4% tax rate, and affordable HOA dues of $ 1,500 per year. With major economic drivers such as the $1.6B Google Data Centers project and two nearby hospitals, plus excellent property management in place and willing to stay on, this asset is primed for continued growth. Ask about available DSCR financing with a 10-year interest-only option to maximize your cash flow.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 4 × 2-bed/1.8-bath units multifamily listed at $829k. Condition is rated good.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $14 ($163/yr) — positive. Per door: $3/mo.
  • The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
  • To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $746k (10.0% below list).
  • Recommended offer: $730k (12.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
  • Cap rate 6.3% vs local median 3.0% in Venus — 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 70/100 on livability (#356 in TX) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: crime A+, employment A+, cost of living A+; Watch: schools D+, amenities F, commute F.
  • Midlothian ISD (suburban): math 53% / reading 52% proficiency, ranked #94 of 826 in TX (top 11%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
  • Market conditions: Rents rising (+2.4%/yr); 428 active listings in the ZIP; solid renter incomes; 3,016 units permitted in Ellis County in 2024 (20 in 5+ unit buildings).
  • At $7,459/mo this rent would consume 88% of the median local household income ($102k/yr) (locally 70% of renters already pay >50% of income on rent) — very limited rent-growth headroom before tenants either downsize or default.

Forward outlook

  • In year one you build about $66k of equity ($6k loan paydown + $61k appreciation (7.3% local appreciation)).
  • Ellis County population projected at +36% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.
  • At projected returns (7.3% appreciation + 2.4% rent growth), your $232k cash investment doubles in ~4 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
  • By year 2, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$106k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 131 days — a 12% lower offer ($730k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.

Risks & watch-outs

  • Climate carrying-cost: major wind risk, 27% chance of damaging wind over 30y; extreme-heat days projected 7→25/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Recommended offer $729,520 (12.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. It's been on market 131 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 12% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
  2. Can we see the unit-by-unit rent roll, current vacancy, and any below-market leases? What's the average tenancy length?
  3. What capital expenditures (roof, boiler, parking lot, exteriors) have been made in the last 5 years, and what's planned in the next 2?
  4. What does the HOA fee cover, when was the last increase, and are there any pending special assessments or reserve-fund shortfalls?
  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. 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?
  8. 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?
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
