Investor read

• This is a 4-bed/3.0-bath townhouse listed at $62k.
• At list price, monthly cash flow is $705 ($8k/yr) — positive.
• The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
• Meets the 1% rule at list price ($1k rent vs $62k).
• It's been on market 113 days — a 9% lower offer ($57k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
• Recommended offer: $57k (9.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
• Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $432 of loan paydown is wiped out by about $2k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
• Location reads 72/100 on livability (#49 in ID) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: health & safety A, housing B; Watch: amenities F, commute F.
• Mccall-Donnelly Joint School District (rural): math 59% / reading 74% proficiency, ranked #8 of 92 in ID (top 9%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
• Zoned schools: Barbara R Morgan Elementary (math 64% / reading 70%, grade B+, #31 of 357 statewide, top 10%, 428 students, 21% FRL); Payette Lakes Middle School (math 55% / reading 78%, grade A-, #2 of 109 statewide, top 1%, 310 students, 19% FRL); Mccall-Donnelly High School (math 62% / reading 82%, grade B+, #7 of 169 statewide, top 4%, 429 students, 11% FRL).
• Market conditions: 525 active listings in the ZIP; 250 units permitted in Valley County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
• Valley County population projected at +7% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.
• 5 sale attempts since 11y ago with the ask held roughly flat each time — persistent listings suggest the price (not the market) is what's stuck; bring a comps-based counter.
• At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $18k cash investment doubles in ~3 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
• Climate carrying-cost: major wildfire risk — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.

Questions for listing agent

• It's been on market 113 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 9% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
• 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?
• 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.
