What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 3-bed/3.0-bath condo listed at $204k.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $-288 ($-3k/yr) — negative.
  • To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $153k (25.0% below list).
  • Meets the 1% rule at list price ($3k rent vs $204k).
  • Recommended offer: $153k (25.0% below list) — sets the bar for cash-flow.
  • Cap rate 5.0% vs local median 0.1% in Steamboat Springs — top-decile yield for the area; either an underpriced asset or a hidden risk that comps aren't pricing in. Stress-test before assuming the spread holds.

Location & tenants

  • Location reads 74/100 on livability (#41 in CO, #4,975 nationally) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: commute A+, employment A+; Watch: health & safety C-, amenities D, cost of living F.
  • Steamboat Springs School District No. RE-2 (town): math 49% / reading 72% proficiency, ranked #4 of 86 in CO (top 5%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease; only 12% free/reduced lunch — higher-income household profile.
  • Zoned schools: Soda Creek Elementary School (math 62% / reading 72%, grade B+, #46 of 966 statewide, top 6%, 402 students, 10% FRL); Steamboat Springs Middle School (math 45% / reading 77%, grade B+, #14 of 270 statewide, top 5%, 507 students, 10% FRL); Steamboat Springs High School (math 52% / reading 77%, grade B-, #32 of 381 statewide, top 9%, 842 students, 8% FRL) — zoned schools at 9% FRL track the district average.
  • Market conditions: Rents rising fast (+10.6%/yr); 565 active listings in the ZIP; solid renter incomes; 597 units permitted in Routt County in 2024 (418 in 5+ unit buildings).
  • This rent runs 35% of the median local income ($110k/yr) — at the standard rent-burdened threshold; future hikes will face affordability resistance.

Forward outlook

  • Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $1k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $6k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
  • Routt County population projected at +18% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 192 days — a 12% lower offer ($180k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
  • 14 sale attempts since 21y ago; this cycle's ask has dropped $21k (9%) from the opening price — seller is motivated, your offer sets the floor, not the list.
  • Current owner paid $145k; 41% above their basis — modest negotiation headroom, anchor on the comps not their cost.

Risks & watch-outs

  • Watch-outs: property tax is 2.9% of price; flood insurance adds $66/mo; HOA is 35% of rent.
  • Climate carrying-cost: severe flood risk; moderate wildfire risk — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Recommended offer $153,056 (25.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. 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?
  2. It's been on market 192 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 25% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
  3. Property tax is high relative to price — has the assessment been appealed recently, and will the sale trigger a re-assessment?
  4. What's the actual annual flood-insurance premium (NFIP or private), and is the property in a SFHA with mandatory coverage?
  5. What does the HOA fee cover, when was the last increase, and are there any pending special assessments or reserve-fund shortfalls?
  6. Any open or pending special assessments — roof, HVAC, plumbing, elevator, façade? What's the per-unit balance and payoff schedule, and is the seller paying it off at close or rolling it to the buyer?
  7. Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
  8. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  9. Schools are B-rated — typically a magnet for longer-tenancy family renters. What's the average tenant stay here, and is there a school-zone premium baked into asking?
  10. 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?
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. How much new apartment / multifamily construction is in the pipeline within 1–3 miles? Heavy new supply (>2% of stock underway) typically softens rents 12–24 months out; light construction supports rent growth.

For passive investors: Depreciation is non-cash, so a rental often shows a tax loss while cash-flowing — sheltering income. Rental losses are passive: they offset passive income freely, and up to $25,000/yr can offset ordinary (W-2) income if you actively participate and your MAGI is under $100k (phasing out to $0 by $150k); unused losses carry forward. On sale, claimed depreciation is recaptured at up to 25%, and gains may owe capital-gains tax (a 1031 exchange can defer both). Figures are a year-1 estimate at your 24.0% rate — not tax advice; consult a CPA.
