Investor read
This is a 2-bed/2.0-bath condo listed at $89k. Condition is rated fair.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $47 ($558/yr) — positive.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($1k rent vs $89k).
It's been on market 234 days — a 12% lower offer ($78k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $78k (12.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
In year one you build about $4k of equity ($615 loan paydown + $4k appreciation (4.2% local appreciation)).
Location reads: area grade D — affects rentability + tenant quality, not the cash-flow math above.
Claysburg-Kimmel SD (rural): math 37% / reading 53% proficiency, ranked #284 of 539 in PA (top 53%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
Zoned schools: Claysburg-Kimmel El Sch (math 37% / reading 55%, grade D-, #797 of 1,518 statewide, top 53%, 368 students, 100% FRL); Claysburg-Kimmel Jr Hs (130 students, 100% FRL); Claysburg-Kimmel Sr Hs (math 37% / reading 47%, grade F, #232 of 437 statewide, top 57%, 261 students, 77% FRL) — zoned schools average 92% FRL vs 47% district-wide (45 pts higher); higher-poverty schools than district average — tighter screening recommended.
Watch-outs: HOA is 27% of rent.
Market conditions: 86 active listings in the ZIP; 54 units permitted in Bedford County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
Bedford County population projected at -25% by 2050 — secular population decline; favor cash flow + early exit over multi-decade hold.
At projected returns (4.2% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $25k cash investment doubles in ~5 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
By year 8, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$32k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Questions for listing agent
It's been on market 234 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 12% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
Have any recent inspections been done? Can we get a copy of the seller's disclosures and any deferred-maintenance estimates?
Built in 1979 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
What does the HOA fee cover, when was the last increase, and are there any pending special assessments or reserve-fund shortfalls?
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?
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.
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?
Repairs flagged (vision-AI assessment)
Major: Kitchen flooring
— The linoleum flooring is visibly dated and worn.
Moderate: Kitchen cabinets
— The cabinets are dated and could be updated for a more modern look.
Moderate: Bathroom design
— The dated design and shower curtain suggest a need for an update to increase appeal and functionality.
