Investor read
This is a 5 × 2-bed/1-bath units multifamily listed at $800k. Condition is rated fair.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $2k ($22k/yr) — positive. Per door: $364/mo.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($9k rent vs $800k).
It's been on market 94 days — a 9% lower offer ($728k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $728k (9.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $6k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $24k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
Location reads 72/100 on livability (#208 in WA) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: housing A+, health & safety A+; Watch: crime D, schools F, amenities F.
Franklin Pierce School District (suburban): math 35% / reading 51% proficiency, ranked #197 of 291 in WA (top 68%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
Market conditions: Rents rising (+2.0%/yr); 237 active listings in the ZIP; solid renter incomes; 3,209 units permitted in Pierce County in 2024 (1,269 in 5+ unit buildings).
Pierce County population projected at +26% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.
3 sale attempts since 11y ago; this cycle's ask has dropped $99k (11%) from the opening price — seller is motivated, your offer sets the floor, not the list.
Current owner paid $350k; list at $800k implies a 129% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
Cap rate 9.0% vs local median 3.2% in Midland — top-decile yield for the area; either an underpriced asset or a hidden risk that comps aren't pricing in. Stress-test before assuming the spread holds.
At $9,301/mo this rent would consume 121% of the median local household income ($93k/yr) (locally 1085% of renters already pay >50% of income on rent) — very limited rent-growth headroom before tenants either downsize or default.
Questions for listing agent
It's been on market 94 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 9% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
Can we see the unit-by-unit rent roll, current vacancy, and any below-market leases? What's the average tenancy length?
What capital expenditures (roof, boiler, parking lot, exteriors) have been made in the last 5 years, and what's planned in the next 2?
Have any recent inspections been done? Can we get a copy of the seller's disclosures and any deferred-maintenance estimates?
Built in 1962 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
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 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?
