Listing remarks MLS

A rare opportunity to own a turnkey four-unit investment property with three, 3 Bedroom units and one 2 bedroom unit! Owners have taken exceptional care of this property from the interior, exterior and mechanics. Improvements: Each apartment was gutted to frame, new electrical service (inspected by NYS fire underwriters), plumbing, furnaces, insulation walls and ceilings, drywall, every window replaced, kitchen cabinets, custom made countertops, and new bathrooms. After all 4 apartments were finished, the outside was addressed including roofs, siding, sidewalks, vinyl fence in back behind front building, yard and parking lot graded. Each unit offers 1,000SF of living space. Three of four are occupied on MTM WRITTEN leases with security deposits. Units 1 and 2 are three-bedroom units with a dining room. #3 is a three bedroom, #4 a two bedroom. No Pets, No Smoking. All have BI dishwashers and laundry hook ups. Tenants supply range, refrigerator, washer and dryer. Owner covers water and garbage (note Town is to begin providing garbage and recycling services in 2026) Yard and off-street parking. Close proximity to all major conveniences. Walking distance to Sole Beach Bar and Hamburg beach access rights with a playground at the end of the street. Sellers will review offers as received while reserving the right to set an offer deadline. 48 hours advance notice required for showings. IMPORTANT: Woodlawn has street sign spelled FOURTH St. Realist reflects 4th St. Use Fourth St for GPS.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 3×3bd/1ba + 1×2bd/1ba units multifamily listed at $475k.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $854 ($10k/yr) — positive. Per door: $213/mo.
  • The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
  • Meets the 1% rule at list price ($5k rent vs $475k).
  • Recommended offer: $446k (6.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
  • Cap rate 8.4% vs local median 4.5% in Blasdell — 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.

Location & tenants

  • Location reads 66/100 on livability (#643 in NY) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+, health & safety A+; Watch: employment D, schools D-, amenities F.
  • Frontier Central School District (suburban): math 54% / reading 55% proficiency, ranked #301 of 590 in NY (top 51%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease; only 20% free/reduced lunch — higher-income household profile.
  • Market conditions: 44 active listings in the ZIP; 1,244 units permitted in Erie County in 2024 (563 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 $14k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 65 days — a 6% lower offer ($446k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.

Risks & watch-outs

  • Watch-outs: built in 1954 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Recommended offer $446,406 (6.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. It's been on market 65 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 6% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
  2. Can we see the unit-by-unit rent roll, current vacancy, and any below-market leases? What's the average tenancy length?
  3. What capital expenditures (roof, boiler, parking lot, exteriors) have been made in the last 5 years, and what's planned in the next 2?
  4. Built in 1954 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
  5. Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
  6. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  7. Schools are D-rated, which usually means shorter tenancies and higher turnover. Who's the typical renter profile here, and what's been the actual vacancy rate?
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
