Listing remarks MLS

Priced for the savvy investor, this high-performance value-add property (light cleanup, minor repairs and tree removal-roof was replaced in 2022 and HVAC was replaced in 2021) offers an immediate foothold in Atlanta's rapidly appreciating Grove Park. Since 2022, the asset has established a robust performance history, currently generating an average monthly gross income of $3,764 (T-12) with a clear pro forma path to $4,805 and a projected 17.9% cash-on-cash return. This 1,770 sq ft residence features a high-density 7-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout perfectly optimized for a turnkey co-living investment. Situated on a quiet, well-maintained street backing up to a serene wooded buffer, the home offers a rare blend of privacy and premier accessibility-located just 250 feet from a MARTA stop and minutes from the heart of Downtown Atlanta. The property is strategically positioned to capitalize on the massive economic tailwinds surrounding Westside Park and major nearby redevelopments, including the 20-acre Cypress Grove project and the Microsoft-backed mixed-income community. With light renovations, an investor can maximize the existing revenue model in an "A+" location near prime shopping and dining. Featuring ample parking and situated in one of the city's most transformative growth corridors, 1860 North Avenue NW is a strategic asset ready to deliver immediate, scalable cash flow.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 6-bed/2.0-bath single-family listed at $235k.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $781 ($9k/yr) — positive.
  • The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
  • Meets the 1% rule at list price ($3k rent vs $235k).
  • Recommended offer: $214k (9.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
  • Cap rate 10.3% vs local median 3.1% in Atlanta — 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 (#6 in GA, #919 nationally) — a professional / high-income tenant draw. Strengths: amenities A+, commute A+, housing A+; Watch: schools C-, cost of living C-.
  • Atlanta Public Schools (urban): math 28% / reading 35% proficiency, ranked #80 of 174 in GA (top 46%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases; 71% free/reduced lunch — lower-income household profile, screen leases tightly.
  • Market conditions: Rents rising (+3.3%/yr); 722 active listings in the ZIP; 6 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals at typical pace (median 24d on market — plan ~3-4 weeks tenant-placement turnaround); solid renter incomes; 11,565 units permitted in Fulton County in 2024 (8,159 in 5+ unit buildings).
  • At $3,259/mo this rent would consume 47% of the median local household income ($83k/yr) (locally 4182% 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 $2k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $7k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
  • Fulton County population projected at +38% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.
  • At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 3.3% rent growth), your $66k cash investment doubles in ~8 years — after that, you're playing with house money.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 112 days — a 9% lower offer ($214k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
  • 10 sale attempts since 9y 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.

Risks & watch-outs

  • Watch-outs: built in 1940 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
  • Climate carrying-cost: major wind risk, 27% chance of damaging wind over 30y; extreme-heat days projected 7→16/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Recommended offer $213,850 (9.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. It's been on market 112 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 9% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
  2. Built in 1940 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
  3. Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
  4. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.

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.
