Investor read
This is a 2-bed/1.0-bath other listed at $35k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $472 ($6k/yr) — positive.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($894 rent vs $35k).
It's been on market 21 days — a 2% lower offer ($34k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $34k (1.5% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
In year one you build about $1k of equity ($242 loan paydown + $1k appreciation (3.0% local appreciation)).
Location reads 56/100 on livability (#758 in WI) — a working-class tenant base; expect higher turnover. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A-; Watch: crime D, health & safety D, amenities F.
Winter School District (rural): math 40% / reading 35% proficiency, ranked #305 of 426 in WI (top 72%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
Zoned schools: Winter Elementary (math 34% / reading 24%, grade F, #705 of 1,041 statewide, top 71%, 113 students, 69% FRL); Winter High (math 24% / reading 24%, grade F, #287 of 483 statewide, top 71%, 83 students, 58% FRL).
Watch-outs: built in 1922 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Market conditions: 7 active listings in the ZIP; 228 units permitted in Sawyer County in 2024 (16 in 5+ unit buildings).
Sawyer County population projected at -26% by 2050 — secular population decline; favor cash flow + early exit over multi-decade hold.
Current owner paid $12k; list at $35k implies a 180% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
At projected returns (3.0% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $10k cash investment doubles in ~2 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
Questions for listing agent
Built in 1922 — 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?
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.
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.
