Listing remarks MLS

Regarded as one of the most desirable suburbs in the United States, Allen is absolutely one of the best places to live in Texas. With its dense suburban feel and numerous amenities, it's simply a great place to call home. And it is now open and home to our newest Village Cooperative and we are thrilled to bring this hassle-free home ownership option to active adults (62+) in the area! That's because the Village Cooperative of Allen offers a worry-free lifestyle to its member-owners. This housing option is built specifically for those who want to own their home but also want to work or retire without the headaches of maintenance, repairs and surprise bills that are associated with owning a house. Plus, you'll find the amenities, social opportunities and financial benefits just a few advantages of cooperative living.

Key facts

• 2 garage spots
• Listed 276 days

🏢 Co-op / cooperative unit. The $249,000 price buys shares in the cooperative corporation, not the real estate itself — so it isn't comparable to a fee-simple sale price, and the cashflow / cap-rate / 1%-rule cards below (which assume you own the property and can rent it out) don't apply here. Expect board approval and a monthly maintenance fee on top of the price.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

• This is a 2-bed/2.0-bath condo listed at $249k. Condition is rated poor.

Deal economics

• At list price, monthly cash flow is $-3k ($-41k/yr) — negative.
• The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
• To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $227k (9.0% below list).
• Recommended offer: $219k (12.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
• Cap rate -3.6% vs local median 2.6% in Allen — below-typical yield; the buyer is paying a premium for something (appreciation thesis, condition, location) that the cap rate doesn't capture.

Location & tenants

• Location reads 80/100 on livability (#34 in TX, #1,678 nationally) — a professional / high-income tenant draw. Strengths: crime A+, employment A+, housing A+; Watch: cost of living C-, commute F.
• Allen ISD (suburban): math 64% / reading 63% proficiency, ranked #22 of 826 in TX (top 3%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease; only 16% free/reduced lunch — higher-income household profile.
• Market conditions: Rents soft (-3.0%/yr); 374 active listings in the ZIP; 40 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals at typical pace (median 25d on market — plan ~3-4 weeks tenant-placement turnaround); high-income renter base; 19,194 units permitted in Collin County in 2024 (3,988 in 5+ unit buildings).

Forward outlook

• Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $3k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $12k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
• Collin County population projected at +60% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.

Negotiation context

• It's been on market 277 days — a 12% lower offer ($219k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.

Risks & watch-outs

• Watch-outs: HOA is 104% of rent.

Recommended offer $219,120 (12.0% 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 277 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 12% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
3. Have any recent inspections been done? Can we get a copy of the seller's disclosures and any deferred-maintenance estimates?
4. What does the HOA fee cover, when was the last increase, and are there any pending special assessments or reserve-fund shortfalls?
5. Any open or pending special assessments — roof, HVAC, plumbing, elevator, façade? What's the per-unit balance and payoff schedule, and is the seller paying it off at close or rolling it to the buyer?
6. Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
7. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
8. 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?
9. 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?
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.

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.

Condition & rehab AI · 2 photos

Poor 20/100 Extensive rehab

The property appears to be in a poor condition with significant repairs and maintenance needed, including roof and exterior work, and landscaping improvements. These issues significantly impact its value and should be addressed to increase its resale or rental potential.

Repairs flagged

• Major roof — The roof footprint is visible, but no specific details about the roof condition can be determined from the satellite image.
• Major exterior — The satellite image shows a large, open lot with no visible structures or landscaping.
• Major landscaping — The satellite image shows a large, open lot with no visible landscaping or curb appeal.

Value-add opportunities

• Both landscaping and curb appeal — Enhancing the landscaping and curb appeal would improve the home's visual appeal and potentially increase its value for both resale and rental.
• Both roof and exterior repairs — Addressing the roof and exterior issues would improve the home's structural integrity and overall appearance, enhancing its value for both resale and rental.
