What this means for you Summary
Snapshot
- This is a 6 × 3-bed/4.0-bath units multifamily listed at $865k.
Deal economics
- At list price, monthly cash flow is $6k ($75k/yr) — positive. Per door: $1k/mo.
- The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
- Meets the 1% rule at list price ($14k rent vs $865k).
- Recommended offer: $813k (6.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
Location & tenants
- Location reads 75/100 on livability (#64 in UT, #3,994 nationally) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: amenities A+, commute A+, housing A; Watch: cost of living D+, crime F.
- Salt Lake District (urban): math 30% / reading 37% proficiency, ranked #65 of 80 in UT (top 81%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
- Zoned schools: Washington School (math 22% / reading 32%, grade F, #454 of 585 statewide, top 79%, 267 students, 48% FRL); Salt Lake Center For Science Education Bryant (math 14% / reading 29%, grade F, #125 of 138 statewide, top 91%, 407 students, 64% FRL); West High (math 33% / reading 60%, grade D-, #38 of 171 statewide, top 24%, 2,600 students, 51% FRL) — zoned schools at 54% FRL track the district average.
- Market conditions: Rents rising (+1.6%/yr); 207 active listings in the ZIP; solid renter incomes; 4,970 units permitted in Salt Lake County in 2024 (1,963 in 5+ unit buildings).
- At $14,472/mo this rent would consume 207% of the median local household income ($84k/yr) (locally 1273% of renters already pay >50% of income on rent) — very limited rent-growth headroom before tenants either downsize or default.
Forward outlook
- Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $6k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $26k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
- Salt Lake County population projected at +37% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.
- At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 1.6% rent growth), your $242k cash investment doubles in ~5 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
Negotiation context
- It's been on market 73 days — a 6% lower offer ($813k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Risks & watch-outs
- Watch-outs: built in 1899 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
- Climate carrying-cost: major wildfire risk — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Questions for the listing agent
- It's been on market 73 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 6% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
- Can we see the unit-by-unit rent roll, current vacancy, and any below-market leases? What's the average tenancy length?
- What capital expenditures (roof, boiler, parking lot, exteriors) have been made in the last 5 years, and what's planned in the next 2?
- Built in 1899 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
- 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.
- Crime grade is F in this area — have there been break-ins, vandalism, or insurance claims at this property in the last 3 years? What carrier currently insures it and at what premium?
- 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 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.
