Investor read
This is a 4-bed/2.0-bath manufactured listed at $128k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $-109 ($-1k/yr) — negative.
To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $112k (12.3% below list).
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($2k rent vs $128k).
Only 5 days on market — expect competitive offers; lowballing is unlikely to land.
Recommended offer: $112k (12.3% below list) — sets the bar for cash-flow.
Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $884 of loan paydown is wiped out by about $4k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
Location reads 83/100 on livability (#23 in UT, #920 nationally) — a professional / high-income tenant draw. Strengths: crime A+, commute A+, employment A+; Watch: amenities F, cost of living F.
Canyons District (suburban): math 49% / reading 53% proficiency, ranked #12 of 80 in UT (top 15%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
Zoned schools: Crescent School (math 42% / reading 42%, grade F, #287 of 585 statewide, top 52%, 423 students, 30% FRL); Mt. Jordan Middle (math 27% / reading 36%, grade F, #102 of 138 statewide, top 76%, 776 students, 44% FRL); Alta High (math 27% / reading 59%, grade F, #53 of 171 statewide, top 31%, 2,294 students, 15% FRL) — zoned schools at 30% FRL track the district average.
Zoned-school proficiency averages 39% at this address vs 51% district-wide (-12 pts) — the specific schools serving this property underperform the Canyons District average; the district grade overstates school quality for this exact location.
Watch-outs: HOA is 48% of rent.
Market conditions: Rents soft (-2.7%/yr); 137 active listings in the ZIP; 12 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals leasing fast (median 6d on market — plan ~1-2 weeks tenant-placement turnaround); solid renter incomes; 4,970 units permitted in Salt Lake County in 2024 (1,963 in 5+ unit buildings).
Salt Lake County population projected at +37% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.
4 sale attempts since 3y 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.
This rent runs 38% of the median local income ($79k/yr) — at the standard rent-burdened threshold; future hikes will face affordability resistance.
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?
Built in 1973 — 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?
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.
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.
