Investor read
This is a 3-bed/1.0-bath manufactured listed at $30k. Condition is rated average.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $865 ($10k/yr) — positive.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($2k rent vs $30k).
Only 9 days on market — expect competitive offers; lowballing is unlikely to land.
Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $207 of loan paydown is wiped out by about $900 of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
Location reads 81/100 on livability (#97 in OH, #1,491 nationally) — a professional / high-income tenant draw. Strengths: commute A+, cost of living A+, housing A+; Watch: employment C-, crime F.
Big Walnut Local (rural): math 68% / reading 75% proficiency, ranked #103 of 656 in OH (top 16%) — strong family-tenant draw, lease renewals of 3-5y typical; only 15% free/reduced lunch — higher-income household profile.
Zoned schools: Hylen Souders Elementary School (math 62% / reading 67%, grade B, #522 of 1,584 statewide, top 36%, 377 students, 26% FRL); Big Walnut Middle School (math 67% / reading 77%, grade A, #115 of 654 statewide, top 18%, 635 students, 13% FRL); Big Walnut High School (math 57% / reading 79%, grade B, #133 of 781 statewide, top 17%, 1,226 students, 12% FRL) — zoned schools at 17% FRL track the district average.
Watch-outs: HOA is 31% of rent.
Market conditions: Rents rising (+1.7%/yr); 125 active listings in the ZIP; high-income renter base; 2,233 units permitted in Delaware County in 2024 (304 in 5+ unit buildings).
Delaware County population projected at +37% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.
5 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.
At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 1.7% rent growth), your $8k cash investment doubles in ~1 year — after that, you're playing with house money.
Cap rate 40.9% vs local median 3.8% in Columbus — 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
Built in 1973 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
What does the HOA fee cover, when was the last increase, and are there any pending special assessments or reserve-fund shortfalls?
Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
Crime grade is F in this area — have there been break-ins, vandalism, or insurance claims at this property in the last 3 years? What carrier currently insures it and at what premium?
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?
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.
