Turnkey. Timeless. Fully Leased. Opportunities like this don't wait—and neither should you. Located steps from everything downtown offers, and positioned squarely in the path of continued revitalization, this fully occupied 8-unit asset delivers what investors are chasing right now: character, stability, and immediate income. Known locally as ''The Hive, '' this one-of-a-kind building offers eight distinct floor plans, ranging from one- and two-bedroom units—a rarity in a market flooded with cookie-cutter rentals. The craftsmanship of the era is unmistakable: exposed brick built-ins, vintage hardwood floors, and architectural details you simply cannot recreate today. This is authentic charm, not manufactured nostalgia. From an operational standpoint, the property checks every box. All units have heating and air, utilizing a blend of mini-splits and window units where appropriate. The building has been mostly updated, and the metal roof installed in 2020 provides peace of mind for years to come. This is not a value-add gamble—this is a turnkey performer. Demand here isn't speculative—it's proven. Downtown proximity keeps this property insulated from market swings and positions it for long-term durability. 8 units. Fully leased. Prime location. Historic appeal. Modern updates. Assets like this do not come to market often—and when they do, they move. Rent rolls and financials available upon request.

What this means for you Summary
Snapshot
- This is a 4×1bd/1ba + 4×2bd/1ba units multifamily listed at $799k.
Deal economics
- At list price, monthly cash flow is $2k ($21k/yr) — positive. Per door: $218/mo.
- The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
- Meets the 1% rule at list price ($8k rent vs $799k).
- Recommended offer: $703k (12.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
- Cap rate 8.9% vs local median 3.1% in Johnson 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 76/100 on livability (#8 in TN, #3,349 nationally) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: amenities A+, cost of living A+, health & safety A; Watch: crime D, commute F, employment F.
- Johnson City (urban): math 46% / reading 47% proficiency, ranked #9 of 139 in TN (top 6%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
- Market conditions: Rents rising (+1.5%/yr); 209 active listings in the ZIP; 1,155 units permitted in Washington County in 2024 (437 in 5+ unit buildings).
- At $8,276/mo this rent would consume 190% of the median local household income ($52k/yr) (locally 2254% 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 $6k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $24k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
- Washington County population projected at +9% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.
Negotiation context
- It's been on market 283 days — a 12% lower offer ($703k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
- 5 sale attempts since 5y ago; this cycle's ask has dropped $50k (6%) from the opening price — seller is motivated, your offer sets the floor, not the list.
Risks & watch-outs
- Watch-outs: built in 1913 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
- Climate carrying-cost: extreme-heat days projected 7→22/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Questions for the listing agent
- It's been on market 283 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 12% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
- Can we see the unit-by-unit rent roll, current vacancy, and any below-market leases? What's the average tenancy length?
- What capital expenditures (roof, boiler, parking lot, exteriors) have been made in the last 5 years, and what's planned in the next 2?
- Built in 1913 — 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.
- 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 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.
