Listing remarks MLS

Well maintained fourplex located at 2146 Riviera Blvd in Bullhead City, Arizona, just minutes from Rotary Park, the Colorado River, and local boat launch access. This income producing property features four 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom units, all currently occupied and month-to-month, offering immediate income with flexibility for future optimization. Current rents are below market, providing clear upside for the next owner. Units 1, 3, and 4 rent at $900 per month, with Unit 2 at $950 per month. Three of the four units have completed interior remodels, while one long-term tenant occupied unit remains in original condition, presenting a straightforward value-add opportunity. Ownership pride is evident throughout. Since acquiring the property in 2018, the owner has replaced all HVAC units, upgraded the electrical with separately metered power and a newer electrical panel, and maintained the roof in good condition. Utilities are simple and predictable with tenants paying electric and the owner covering water, sewer, and trash. The property features a two-story layout with two units downstairs and two upstairs, a shared front patio area, and a free-for-all parking structure with no assigned spaces. No laundry, garages, or storage units, keeping maintenance and operating complexity low. Tenant base is stable and long term, with three single occupants and one family unit. No pets allowed except service animals. The property is self-managed, with minimal ongoing expenses, no HOA, no rent control, and sits on owned land, making it an attractive long-term hold or 1031 exchange option. This is a solid, stabilized multifamily asset in a desirable river-adjacent location with immediate cash flow and future rent growth potential.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 4 × 2-bed/1.0-bath units multifamily listed at $525k.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $959 ($12k/yr) — positive. Per door: $240/mo.
  • The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
  • To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $514k (2.1% below list).
  • Recommended offer: $462k (12.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
  • Cap rate 8.5% vs local median 3.7% in Bullhead City — 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 64/100 on livability (#103 in AZ) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+; Watch: health & safety C-, employment D, schools F.
  • Bullhead City School District (4378) (town): math 16% / reading 22% proficiency, ranked #189 of 249 in AZ (top 76%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover; 68% free/reduced lunch — lower-income household profile, screen leases tightly.
  • Market conditions: Rents soft (-0.9%/yr); 713 active listings in the ZIP; 1 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; 2,543 units permitted in Mohave County in 2024 (33 in 5+ unit buildings).
  • At $5,138/mo this rent would consume 128% of the median local household income ($48k/yr) (locally 1040% 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 $4k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $16k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
  • Mohave County population projected to shrink 6% by 2050 — rents likely to lag national; underwrite the cash flow, not the appreciation.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 122 days — a 12% lower offer ($462k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
  • 3 sale attempts since 10y 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.
  • Current owner paid $150k; list at $525k implies a 250% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.

Risks & watch-outs

  • Climate carrying-cost: extreme-heat days projected 7→16/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Recommended offer $462,000 (12.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. It's been on market 122 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 12% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
  2. Can we see the unit-by-unit rent roll, current vacancy, and any below-market leases? What's the average tenancy length?
  3. What capital expenditures (roof, boiler, parking lot, exteriors) have been made in the last 5 years, and what's planned in the next 2?
  4. Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
  5. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  6. 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?
  7. 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?
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. How much new apartment / multifamily construction is in the pipeline within 1–3 miles? Heavy new supply (>2% of stock underway) typically softens rents 12–24 months out; light construction supports rent growth.

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.
