Investor read
This is a 6 × 7-bed/6.0-bath units multifamily listed at $1.43M.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $232 ($3k/yr) — positive. Per door: $39/mo.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $1.28M (10.5% below list).
It's been on market 107 days — a 9% lower offer ($1.30M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $1.28M (10.5% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $10k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $43k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
Location reads 75/100 on livability (#64 in UT, #3,994 nationally) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: amenities A+, commute A+, housing A; Watch: cost of living D+, crime F.
Salt Lake District (urban): math 30% / reading 37% proficiency, ranked #65 of 80 in UT (top 81%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
Zoned schools: M. Lynn Bennion School (math 8% / reading 12%, grade F, #577 of 585 statewide, top 99%, 175 students, 100% FRL); Salt Lake Center For Science Education Bryant (math 14% / reading 29%, grade F, #125 of 138 statewide, top 91%, 407 students, 64% FRL); East High (math 17% / reading 36%, grade F, #136 of 171 statewide, top 79%, 1,886 students, 51% FRL).
Zoned-school proficiency averages 19% at this address vs 34% district-wide (-14 pts) — the specific schools serving this property underperform the Salt Lake District average; the district grade overstates school quality for this exact location.
Watch-outs: built in 1901 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Market conditions: Rents rising (+2.0%/yr); 133 active listings in the ZIP; 4,970 units permitted in Salt Lake County in 2024 (1,963 in 5+ unit buildings).
Salt Lake County population projected at +37% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.
9 sale attempts since 27y ago; this cycle's ask has dropped $75k (5%) from the opening price — seller is motivated, your offer sets the floor, not the list.
At $12,759/mo this rent would consume 293% of the median local household income ($52k/yr) (locally 2450% of renters already pay >50% of income on rent) — very limited rent-growth headroom before tenants either downsize or default.
Questions for listing agent
It's been on market 107 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 10% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
Can we see the unit-by-unit rent roll, current vacancy, and any below-market leases? What's the average tenancy length?
What capital expenditures (roof, boiler, parking lot, exteriors) have been made in the last 5 years, and what's planned in the next 2?
Built in 1901 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
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.
Crime grade is F 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?
