🏗️ New construction. The $359,990 list price is a builder figure, so every metric below is computed on the value from comparable previous sales — $440,934.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 4-bed/2.5-bath single-family listed at $360k. Condition is rated good.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $-668 ($-8k/yr) — negative.
  • To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $344k (4.4% below list).
  • To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $307k (14.7% below list).
  • Recommended offer: $307k (14.7% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.

Location & tenants

  • Location reads 71/100 on livability (#350 in IL) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: crime A+, employment A+, housing A+; Watch: amenities F, commute F, health & safety F.
  • CUSD 300 (suburban): math 24% / reading 27% proficiency, ranked #261 of 620 in IL (top 42%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover.
  • Zoned schools: Gary D Wright Elem Sch (math 24% / reading 24%, grade F, #922 of 2,056 statewide, top 45%, 638 students, 0% FRL); Hampshire Middle School (math 23% / reading 21%, grade F, #389 of 665 statewide, top 60%, 795 students, 0% FRL); Hampshire High School (math 30% / reading 35%, grade F, #152 of 693 statewide, top 22%, 1,938 students, 0% FRL) — zoned schools average 0% FRL vs 37% district-wide (37 pts lower); this property's tenant base skews higher-income than the district average.
  • Market conditions: 357 active listings in the ZIP; 4 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals leasing fast (median 8d on market — plan ~1-2 weeks tenant-placement turnaround); high-income renter base; 1,944 units permitted in Kane County in 2024 (357 in 5+ unit buildings).
  • This rent runs 33% of the median local income ($111k/yr) — at the standard rent-burdened threshold; future hikes will face affordability resistance.

Forward outlook

  • Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $3k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $13k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 105 days — a 9% lower offer ($328k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer $306,893 (14.7% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. 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?
  2. It's been on market 105 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 15% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
  3. What does the HOA fee cover, when was the last increase, and are there any pending special assessments or reserve-fund shortfalls?
  4. Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
  5. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  6. 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?
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.

For passive investors: Depreciation is non-cash, so a rental often shows a tax loss while cash-flowing — sheltering income. Rental losses are passive: they offset passive income freely, and up to $25,000/yr can offset ordinary (W-2) income if you actively participate and your MAGI is under $100k (phasing out to $0 by $150k); unused losses carry forward. On sale, claimed depreciation is recaptured at up to 25%, and gains may owe capital-gains tax (a 1031 exchange can defer both). Figures are a year-1 estimate at your 24.0% rate — not tax advice; consult a CPA.

Good 80/100 Cosmetic rehab Est. rehab $8,745–$26,235 screening

The home is in good condition with a cosmetic rehab level, featuring a well-maintained exterior and interior. Minor updates such as painting and landscaping can significantly increase its value.

  • Both Painting the exterior siding — Fresh paint can enhance the curb appeal and increase the home's value
  • Both Landscaping improvements — A well-maintained landscape can increase the home's curb appeal and attract more potential buyers
  • Both Interior touch-ups — Fresh paint and minor touch-ups can improve the home's appearance and increase its value
