Investor read
This is a 2-bed/1.0-bath condo listed at $147k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $477 ($6k/yr) — positive.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($2k rent vs $147k).
Only 3 days on market — expect competitive offers; lowballing is unlikely to land.
Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $1k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $4k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
Location reads 76/100 on livability (#200 in IL, #3,725 nationally) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: crime A+, employment A+, housing A; Watch: health & safety D+, amenities F, cost of living F.
Hinsdale Twp Hsd 86 (suburban): math 62% / reading 64% proficiency, ranked #17 of 620 in IL (top 3%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
Zoned schools: Hinsdale South High School (math 42% / reading 47%, grade F, #62 of 693 statewide, top 10%, 1,371 students, 0% FRL).
Zoned-school proficiency averages 44% at this address vs 63% district-wide (-18 pts) — the specific schools serving this property underperform the Hinsdale Twp Hsd 86 average; the district grade overstates school quality for this exact location.
Market conditions: Rents rising fast (+5.3%/yr); 127 active listings in the ZIP; 2 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; solid renter incomes; 1,378 units permitted in DuPage County in 2024 (594 in 5+ unit buildings).
At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 5.3% rent growth), your $41k cash investment doubles in ~7 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
Cap rate 10.2% vs local median 1.4% in Burr Ridge — 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.
Questions for listing agent
What does the HOA fee cover, when was the last increase, and are there any pending special assessments or reserve-fund shortfalls?
Any open or pending special assessments — roof, HVAC, plumbing, elevator, façade? What's the per-unit balance and payoff schedule, and is the seller paying it off at close or rolling it to the buyer?
Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
Schools are B-rated — typically a magnet for longer-tenancy family renters. What's the average tenant stay here, and is there a school-zone premium baked into asking?
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.
