What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 4-bed/2.5-bath single-family listed at $164k.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $-129 ($-2k/yr) — negative.
  • To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $141k (13.9% below list).
  • To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $128k (22.1% below list).
  • Recommended offer: $128k (22.1% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.

Location & tenants

  • Location reads 67/100 on livability (#991 in PA) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+, crime A; Watch: amenities F, commute F, employment D-.
  • Northern Cambria SD (town): math 32% / reading 48% proficiency, ranked #358 of 539 in PA (top 66%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
  • Zoned schools: Northern Cambria El Sch (math 32% / reading 47%, grade F, #947 of 1,518 statewide, top 65%, 247 students, 100% FRL); Northern Cambria Ms (math 16% / reading 49%, grade F, #355 of 512 statewide, top 70%, 240 students, 100% FRL); Northern Cambria Hs (math 82%, 309 students, 32% FRL) — zoned schools average 77% FRL vs 36% district-wide (41 pts higher); higher-poverty schools than district average — tighter screening recommended.
  • Market conditions: 16 active listings in the ZIP; 64 units permitted in Cambria County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).

Forward outlook

  • In year one you build about $8k of equity ($1k loan paydown + $7k appreciation (4.2% local appreciation)).
  • Cambria County population projected at -28% by 2050 — secular population decline; favor cash flow + early exit over multi-decade hold.
  • By year 5, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$34k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 19 days — a 2% lower offer ($161k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
  • Current owner paid $60k; list at $164k implies a 174% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
Recommended offer $127,757 (22.1% 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. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  3. Schools are B-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?
  4. 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?
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
