Investor read
This is a 1-bed/1.0-bath single-family listed at $28k. Condition is rated poor.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $544 ($7k/yr) — positive.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($938 rent vs $28k).
It's been on market 272 days — a 12% lower offer ($25k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $25k (12.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
In year one you build about $705 of equity ($197 loan paydown + $508 appreciation (1.8% local appreciation)).
Location reads 63/100 on livability (#55 in NV) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+; Watch: health & safety C-, crime F, amenities F.
White Pine County School District (town): math 22% / reading 33% proficiency, ranked #13 of 17 in NV (top 76%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover.
Zoned schools: Mcgill Elementary (math 15% / reading 15%, grade F, #338 of 402 statewide, top 85%, 119 students, 100% FRL); White Pine Middle School (math 25% / reading 40%, grade F, #39 of 109 statewide, top 35%, 245 students, 100% FRL); White Pine High School (math 22% / reading 42%, grade F, #56 of 131 statewide, top 45%, 379 students, 100% FRL) — zoned schools average 100% FRL vs 34% district-wide (66 pts higher); higher-poverty schools than district average — tighter screening recommended.
Watch-outs: built in 1930 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Market conditions: 15 active listings in the ZIP; 10 units permitted in White Pine County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
White Pine County population projected to shrink 4% by 2050 — rents likely to lag national; underwrite the cash flow, not the appreciation.
At projected returns (1.8% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $8k cash investment doubles in ~2 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
Climate carrying-cost: moderate wildfire risk — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Questions for listing agent
It's been on market 272 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 12% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
Have any recent inspections been done? Can we get a copy of the seller's disclosures and any deferred-maintenance estimates?
Built in 1930 — 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.
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?
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.
