Investor read

• This is a 5-bed/2.0-bath single-family listed at $189k.
• At list price, monthly cash flow is $-42 ($-509/yr) — negative.
• To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $182k (4.0% below list).
• To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $148k (21.8% below list).
• It's been on market 73 days — a 6% lower offer ($178k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
• Recommended offer: $148k (21.8% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
• 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.
• Location reads 80/100 on livability (#24 in NE, #1,666 nationally) — a professional / high-income tenant draw. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+, health & safety A+; Watch: amenities F, commute F.
• York Public Schools (town): math 55% / reading 51% proficiency, ranked #55 of 111 in NE (top 50%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
• Zoned schools: York Elementary School (math 58% / reading 50%, grade C, #194 of 502 statewide, top 39%, 594 students, 50% FRL); York Middle School (math 54% / reading 52%, grade C+, #41 of 128 statewide, top 32%, 315 students, 44% FRL); York High School (math 52% / reading 47%, grade D, #107 of 261 statewide, top 52%, 522 students, 39% FRL).
• Watch-outs: built in 1920 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
• Market conditions: 74 active listings in the ZIP; 29 units permitted in York County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
• York County population projected at +8% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.
• Cap rate 6.0% vs local median 3.2% in York — 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.

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 73 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 22% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
• Built in 1920 — 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.
• 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?
• 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.
