Investor read
This is a 2-bed/2.0-bath single-family listed at $200k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $-210 ($-3k/yr) — negative.
To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $163k (18.6% below list).
To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $163k (18.5% below list).
It's been on market 31 days — a 3% lower offer ($194k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $163k (18.6% below list) — sets the bar for cash-flow.
In year one you build about $9k of equity ($1k loan paydown + $8k appreciation (3.8% local appreciation)).
Location reads: area grade D — affects rentability + tenant quality, not the cash-flow math above.
Midd-West SD (rural): math 41% / reading 55% proficiency, ranked #225 of 539 in PA (top 42%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
Zoned schools: Midd-West Ms (math 40% / reading 54%, grade D+, #163 of 512 statewide, top 33%, 304 students, 100% FRL); Midd-West Hs (math 48% / reading 57%, grade C-, #110 of 437 statewide, top 25%, 764 students, 93% FRL) — zoned schools average 96% FRL vs 33% district-wide (64 pts higher); higher-poverty schools than district average — tighter screening recommended.
Market conditions: 10 active listings in the ZIP; 48 units permitted in Snyder County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
Snyder County population projected at +3% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.
Current owner paid $140k; 43% above their basis — modest negotiation headroom, anchor on the comps not their cost.
By year 4, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$30k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
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 31 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 19% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
The area grade is low — what's the realistic commute time and amenity access for the typical tenant pool here? Any planned neighborhood developments (good or bad) we should know about?
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.
