Investor read
This is a 2-bed/1.0-bath other listed at $120k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $60 ($724/yr) — positive.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $103k (14.2% below list).
Only 4 days on market — expect competitive offers; lowballing is unlikely to land.
Recommended offer: $103k (14.2% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
In year one you build about $9k of equity ($830 loan paydown + $8k appreciation (6.6% local appreciation)).
Location reads 66/100 on livability (#241 in MO) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+, crime B; Watch: amenities F, commute F, employment F.
Slater (rural): math 15% / reading 35% proficiency, ranked #492 of 535 in MO (top 92%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover.
Zoned schools: Alexander Elem. (math 17% / reading 32%, grade F, #879 of 1,115 statewide, top 81%, 211 students, 100% FRL); Slater High (math 5% / reading 24%, grade F, #490 of 521 statewide, top 95%, 131 students, 99% FRL) — zoned schools average 100% FRL vs 50% district-wide (49 pts higher); higher-poverty schools than district average — tighter screening recommended.
Watch-outs: built in 1949 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Market conditions: 14 active listings in the ZIP; 11 units permitted in Saline County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
Saline County population projected to shrink 7% by 2050 — rents likely to lag national; underwrite the cash flow, not the appreciation.
3 sale attempts since 4y ago with the ask held roughly flat each time — persistent listings suggest the price (not the market) is what's stuck; bring a comps-based counter.
At projected returns (6.6% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $34k cash investment doubles in ~4 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
By year 5, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$39k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Questions for listing agent
Built in 1949 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
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.
