Investor read
This is a 3-bed/2.0-bath single-family listed at $360k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $-805 ($-10k/yr) — negative.
To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $218k (39.5% below list).
To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $184k (49.0% below list).
It's been on market 50 days — a 3% lower offer ($349k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $184k (49.0% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
In year one you build about $38k of equity ($2k loan paydown + $36k appreciation (10.0% local appreciation)).
Location reads 69/100 on livability (#120 in GA) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, health & safety A+, housing A; Watch: employment C-, crime D+, schools F.
Bartow County (rural): math 33% / reading 34% proficiency, ranked #70 of 174 in GA (top 40%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
Market conditions: 82 active listings in the ZIP; 1 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; 1,618 units permitted in Bartow County in 2024 (265 in 5+ unit buildings).
3 sale attempts since 19y ago with the ask held roughly flat each time — persistent listings suggest the price (not the market) is what's stuck; bring a comps-based counter.
Current owner paid $168k; list at $360k implies a 114% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
By year 2, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$62k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Climate carrying-cost: major wildfire risk; extreme-heat days projected 7→18/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Cap rate 3.6% vs local median 3.0% in White — meaningfully above typical; check what's discounted (condition, days-on-market, listing class) to confirm the premium yield is real.
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 50 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 49% 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.
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?
Crime grade is D in this area — have there been break-ins, vandalism, or insurance claims at this property in the last 3 years? What carrier currently insures it and at what premium?
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.
