Investor read
This is a 2-bed/2.0-bath single-family listed at $130k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $30 ($362/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 $102k (21.2% below list).
It's been on market 21 days — a 2% lower offer ($128k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $102k (21.2% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
In year one you build about $3k of equity ($898 loan paydown + $2k appreciation (1.6% local appreciation)).
Location reads 59/100 on livability (#527 in MO) — a working-class tenant base; expect higher turnover. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A; Watch: employment D, crime F, amenities F.
Adair County R-II (rural): math 50% / reading 40% proficiency, ranked #194 of 535 in MO (top 36%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
Watch-outs: built in 1920 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Market conditions: 6 active listings in the ZIP; 18 units permitted in Adair County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
3 sale attempts since 6y 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 $12k; list at $130k implies a 982% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
At projected returns (1.6% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $36k cash investment doubles in ~8 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
Questions for listing agent
Built in 1920 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
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?
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.
