Investor read
This is a 2-bed/1.0-bath single-family listed at $25k. Condition is rated good.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $578 ($7k/yr) — positive.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($950 rent vs $25k).
It's been on market 274 days — a 12% lower offer ($22k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $22k (12.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
In year one you build about $3k of equity ($172 loan paydown + $2k appreciation (10.0% local appreciation)).
Location reads 55/100 on livability (#1,137 in OH) — a working-class tenant base; expect higher turnover. Strengths: employment A+, cost of living A+, crime A; Watch: amenities F, commute F, housing F.
Sandy Valley Local (rural): math 56% / reading 63% proficiency, ranked #296 of 656 in OH (top 45%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
Zoned schools: Sandy Valley Elementary School (math 67% / reading 67%, grade B+, #456 of 1,584 statewide, top 31%, 544 students, 45% FRL); Sandy Valley Middle School (math 55% / reading 62%, grade B, #287 of 654 statewide, top 45%, 300 students, 0% FRL); Sandy Valley High School (math 32% / reading 57%, grade F, #470 of 781 statewide, top 62%, 420 students, 71% FRL).
Market conditions: 30 active listings in the ZIP; 244 units permitted in Tuscarawas County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
Tuscarawas County population projected to shrink 10% by 2050 — rents likely to lag national; underwrite the cash flow, not the appreciation.
At projected returns (10.0% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $7k cash investment doubles in ~1 year — after that, you're playing with house money.
By year 10, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$32k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Questions for listing agent
It's been on market 274 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 12% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
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?
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.
