Investor read
This is a 3-bed/2.0-bath other listed at $65k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $284 ($3k/yr) — positive.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($914 rent vs $65k).
It's been on market 22 days — a 2% lower offer ($64k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $64k (1.5% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $449 of loan paydown is wiped out by about $2k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
Location reads 73/100 on livability (#197 in WI) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+, health & safety A+; Watch: employment D+, amenities F, commute F.
Boscobel Area School District (town): math 28% / reading 26% proficiency, ranked #301 of 342 in WI (top 88%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover.
Zoned schools: Boscobel Elementary (math 32% / reading 27%, grade F, #705 of 1,041 statewide, top 71%, 338 students, 60% FRL); Boscobel Junior High (math 27% / reading 27%, grade F, #299 of 383 statewide, top 80%, 152 students, 55% FRL); Boscobel High (math 24% / reading 24%, grade F, #287 of 483 statewide, top 71%, 213 students, 52% FRL).
Market conditions: 35 active listings in the ZIP; 120 units permitted in Grant County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
Grant County population projected at +10% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.
At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $18k cash investment doubles in ~7 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
Questions for listing agent
Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
Schools are F-rated, which usually means shorter tenancies and higher turnover. Who's the typical renter profile here, and what's been the actual vacancy rate?
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.
