Investor read
This is a 2-bed/1.0-bath single-family listed at $130k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $-105 ($-1k/yr) — negative.
To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $111k (14.3% below list).
To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $88k (32.2% below list).
It's been on market 53 days — a 3% lower offer ($126k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $88k (32.2% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
In year one you build about $2k of equity ($899 loan paydown + $1k appreciation (1.0% local appreciation)).
Location reads 40/100 on livability (#1,199 in OH) — a working-class tenant base; expect higher turnover. Strengths: cost of living A+, crime A; Watch: health & safety C-, amenities F, commute F.
Eastern Local School District (rural): math 48% / reading 57% proficiency, ranked #415 of 656 in OH (top 63%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
Watch-outs: built in 1956 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Market conditions: 13 active listings in the ZIP; lower-income renter base — watch delinquency; 45 units permitted in Pike County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
Pike County population projected at -21% by 2050 — secular population decline; favor cash flow + early exit over multi-decade hold.
4 sale attempts since 5y ago; this cycle's ask has dropped $10k (7%) from the opening price — seller is motivated, your offer sets the floor, not the list.
Current owner paid $80k; list at $130k implies a 63% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
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 53 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 32% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
Built in 1956 — 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.
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.
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.
