Investor read
This is a 3-bed/2.0-bath single-family listed at $125k. Condition is rated fair.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $-32 ($-389/yr) — negative.
To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $120k (3.8% below list).
To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $105k (15.8% below list).
It's been on market 237 days — a 12% lower offer ($110k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $105k (15.8% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
In year one you build about $328 of equity ($864 loan paydown + $-536 appreciation (-0.4% local appreciation)).
Location reads 60/100 on livability (#1,064 in TX) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+, crime A-; Watch: schools D, amenities F, commute F.
Timpson ISD (rural): math 28% / reading 35% proficiency, ranked #614 of 826 in TX (top 74%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases; 63% free/reduced lunch — lower-income household profile, screen leases tightly.
Market conditions: 67 active listings in the ZIP; 1 units permitted in Shelby County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
Shelby County population projected to shrink 4% by 2050 — rents likely to lag national; underwrite the cash flow, not the appreciation.
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 237 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 16% 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?
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 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?
The area grade is low — what's the realistic commute time and amenity access for the typical tenant pool here? Any planned neighborhood developments (good or bad) we should know about?
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.
