Listing remarks MLS

Daisy may be little but she's got everything you could want, cleverly designed in just 1200 square feet. Your charming front porch leads into an open great room. The living room is wide open to the beautiful kitchen with its large island capable of seating 4, as well as easy access to a laundry closet. The first floor primary suite is nestled in the rear of the Daisy model, overlooking your back patio. The attached bath with two sinks is convenient and lovely. Upstairs, two more bedrooms await with another full bath. Daisy has all the charm of a beach bungalow and can be built on any lot wider than 30 feet. Note: The price reflects the price of the home itself and does not include the property. You are responsible for providing the property on which these plans will be built.

🏗️ New construction. The $318,162 list price is a builder figure, so every metric below is computed on the value from comparable previous sales — $330,759.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 3-bed/2.0-bath single-family listed at $318k. Condition is rated excellent.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $-267 ($-3k/yr) — negative.
  • To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $292k (8.2% below list).
  • To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $256k (19.7% below list).
  • Recommended offer: $256k (19.7% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
  • Cap rate 5.3% vs local median 3.6% in Suffolk — 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 77/100 on livability (#88 in VA, #2,896 nationally) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: housing A+, health & safety A+, employment A-; Watch: crime C-, commute F.
  • Suffolk City Public School District (suburban): math 41% / reading 69% proficiency, ranked #72 of 131 in VA (top 55%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
  • Zoned schools: Florence Bowser Elementary (math 52% / reading 75%, grade B, #460 of 1,108 statewide, top 42%, 831 students, 64% FRL); John Yeates Middle (math 60% / reading 83%, grade A, #72 of 342 statewide, top 22%, 506 students, 64% FRL); Nansemond River High (math 44% / reading 87%, grade B, #204 of 319 statewide, top 65%, 1,698 students, 64% FRL) — zoned schools average 64% FRL vs 39% district-wide (25 pts higher); higher-poverty schools than district average — tighter screening recommended.
  • Market conditions: Rents rising fast (+10.6%/yr); 645 active listings in the ZIP; 1 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; high-income renter base; 680 units permitted in Suffolk city in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).

Forward outlook

  • Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $2k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $10k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
  • Suffolk County population projected at +11% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 333 days — a 12% lower offer ($280k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer $255,594 (19.7% 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 333 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 20% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
  3. Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
  4. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  5. Schools are A-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?
  6. 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?
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.

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.
