Investor read
This is a 3-bed/1.0-bath single-family listed at $110k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $-262 ($-3k/yr) — negative.
To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $64k (42.1% below list).
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($1k rent vs $110k).
It's been on market 94 days — a 9% lower offer ($100k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $64k (42.1% below list) — sets the bar for cash-flow.
In year one you build about $5k of equity ($761 loan paydown + $5k appreciation (4.1% local appreciation)).
Location reads 63/100 on livability (#405 in NE) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+; Watch: health & safety C-, employment D+, schools F.
Centura Public Schools (rural): math 59% / reading 58% proficiency, ranked #22 of 111 in NE (top 20%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
Watch-outs: flood insurance adds $460/mo; built in 1910 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Market conditions: 5 active listings in the ZIP; 21 units permitted in Howard County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
Howard County population projected at +5% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.
Current owner paid $88k; 25% above their basis — modest negotiation headroom, anchor on the comps not their cost.
By year 7, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$34k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Climate carrying-cost: in FEMA flood zone AE (mandatory federal flood insurance) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Questions for listing agent
What do current leases actually rent for vs. the listed asking? Can we see a recent rent roll and the last 12 months of T-12 income?
It's been on market 94 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 42% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
Built in 1910 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
What's the actual annual flood-insurance premium (NFIP or private), and is the property in a SFHA with mandatory coverage?
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.
