Investor read
This is a 5 × 2-bed/1-bath units multifamily listed at $525k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $934 ($11k/yr) — positive. Per door: $187/mo.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($5k rent vs $525k).
Only 12 days on market — expect competitive offers; lowballing is unlikely to land.
In year one you build about $19k of equity ($4k loan paydown + $16k appreciation (3.0% local appreciation)).
Location reads 78/100 on livability (#110 in MI, #2,643 nationally) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: crime A+, cost of living A+, housing A+; Watch: amenities D-, commute F.
West Bloomfield School District (suburban): math 42% / reading 55% proficiency, ranked #83 of 540 in MI (top 15%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
Zoned schools: Roosevelt Elementary School (math 48% / reading 61%, grade C, #276 of 1,397 statewide, top 22%, 356 students, 49% FRL); West Bloomfield Middle School (math 46% / reading 55%, grade C, #110 of 493 statewide, top 23%, 941 students, 42% FRL); West Bloomfield High School (math 40% / reading 61%, grade D+, #146 of 713 statewide, top 21%, 1,652 students, 34% FRL) — zoned schools average 42% FRL vs 23% district-wide (19 pts higher); higher-poverty schools than district average — tighter screening recommended.
Watch-outs: built in 1927 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Market conditions: 1 active listings in the ZIP; 5 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals leasing fast (median 4d on market — plan ~1-2 weeks tenant-placement turnaround); 2,614 units permitted in Oakland County in 2024 (721 in 5+ unit buildings).
Oakland County population projected at +10% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.
3 sale attempts 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.
Current owner paid $70k; list at $525k implies a 650% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
At projected returns (3.0% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $147k cash investment doubles in ~5 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
By year 2, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$32k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Cap rate 8.4% vs local median 3.8% in Keego Harbor — 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.
Questions for listing agent
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?
Built in 1927 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
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 apartment / multifamily construction is in the pipeline within 1–3 miles? Heavy new supply (>2% of stock underway) typically softens rents 12–24 months out; light construction supports rent growth.
