Set on a generous, fully fenced lot, the home is ideally located near shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, making it both practical and connected. Inside, the layout unfolds with a sense of openness, highlighted by wide passageways and generously proportioned rooms designed for effortless flow. The living space is anchored by a distinctive double-sided wood-burning fireplace, seamlessly connecting the living room and kitchen - creating a warm architectural focal point that enhances both spaces.

With its solid structure, adaptable layout, and distinctive features, this property presents a compelling opportunity to personalize a well-located home while benefiting from its inherent design advantages.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 3-bed/1.0-bath single-family listed at $225k.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $287 ($3k/yr) — positive.
  • The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
  • To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $225k (0.1% below list).
  • Recommended offer: $222k (1.5% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
  • Cap rate 7.8% vs local median 4.9% in Livonia — 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 77/100 on livability (#116 in MI, #2,784 nationally) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: employment A+, cost of living A+, housing A+; Watch: amenities D, health & safety D, commute F.
  • Livonia Public Schools School District (urban): math 46% / reading 59% proficiency, ranked #77 of 540 in MI (top 14%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
  • Zoned schools: Roosevelt Elementary School (math 57% / reading 52%, grade C, #276 of 1,397 statewide, top 22%, 381 students, 42% FRL); Cooper Upper Elementary School (math 22% / reading 45%, grade F, #303 of 493 statewide, top 62%, 662 students, 49% FRL); Franklin High School (math 36% / reading 52%, grade F, #255 of 713 statewide, top 36%, 1,327 students, 40% FRL) — zoned schools average 44% FRL vs 22% district-wide (21 pts higher); higher-poverty schools than district average — tighter screening recommended.
  • Market conditions: 108 active listings in the ZIP; 2 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; 2,639 units permitted in Wayne County in 2024 (1,216 in 5+ unit buildings).

Forward outlook

  • Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $2k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $7k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
  • Wayne County population projected at -17% by 2050 — secular population decline; favor cash flow + early exit over multi-decade hold.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 23 days — a 2% lower offer ($222k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
  • 6 sale attempts since 21y ago; this cycle's ask has dropped $25k (10%) from the opening price — seller is motivated, your offer sets the floor, not the list.
  • Current owner paid $75k; list at $225k implies a 200% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
Recommended offer $221,625 (1.5% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. Built in 1961 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
  2. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  3. 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?
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

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.
