Investor read
This is a 2-bed/1.0-bath single-family listed at $125k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $-50 ($-594/yr) — negative.
To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $116k (7.0% below list).
To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $105k (16.2% below list).
It's been on market 39 days — a 3% lower offer ($121k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $105k (16.2% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
In year one you build about $13k of equity ($864 loan paydown + $12k appreciation (10.0% local appreciation)).
Location reads 62/100 on livability (#845 in NY) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: housing A+, health & safety A; Watch: crime D, amenities F, commute F.
Sodus Central School District (rural): math 45% / reading 45% proficiency, ranked #462 of 590 in NY (top 78%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
Zoned schools: Sodus Elementary School (math 47% / reading 47%, grade D-, #1,195 of 2,108 statewide, top 60%, 354 students, 66% FRL); Sodus Intermediate School (math 42% / reading 35%, grade F, #437 of 729 statewide, top 60%, 231 students, 75% FRL); Sodus Jr/Sr High School (math 52% / reading 57%, grade C-, #912 of 1,100 statewide, top 85%, 445 students, 68% FRL) — zoned schools average 70% FRL vs 49% district-wide (21 pts higher); higher-poverty schools than district average — tighter screening recommended.
Watch-outs: built in 1951 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Market conditions: 25 active listings in the ZIP; 259 units permitted in Wayne County in 2024 (90 in 5+ unit buildings).
Wayne County population projected at -24% by 2050 — secular population decline; favor cash flow + early exit over multi-decade hold.
At projected returns (10.0% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $35k cash investment doubles in ~3 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
By year 3, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$34k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Questions for listing agent
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?
It's been on market 39 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 16% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
Built in 1951 — 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 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?
Crime grade is D 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.
