Listing remarks MLS

Every time you pull into the garage and enter your new home, you will be greeted by your beautiful, perfect, formal dining room (12'x9.5'), room enough for a china cabinet or buffet or even a piano. There is a wall of windows allowing natural light to make everything glow. Of course, if you prefer, this could be a gorgeous home office. This home is bathed in soft grey walls with creamy white trim and traditional White Oak laminate flooring with hints of pale grey in rich beige tones extending throughout. Now, on to the kitchen where you have what every Louisiana chef loves, a gas stove - that vents to the OUTSIDE. Plus, there's a full-length windowed eat-in breakfast nook and two double-door pantries! Though, it doesn't really feel like a kitchen...it is open to the Living Room and is so beautifully appointed it truly sets the place. There is a slab granite island with loads of storage that looks more like a piece of furniture than a counter. The living room (17'6'x16') has tons of windows and a gas fireplace with adjacent built-in shelving. The Master Bedroom too is generous (13.5'x14') and has Sound Insulation in the walls - something you won't truly appreciate until after you move in. The Master Bath hosts a garden tub with a 4'x4' window above that just makes the space! Plus, there's a separate 4' shower with a corner seat, a toilet tucked away in its own private space, an undermount double vanity slab granite counter along with dual closets!! And there is more - a coat closet off the foyer, a large linen closet next to a good-sized laundry room and two well-proportioned smaller bedrooms (12'x11.5') both with additional large double-door closets. And there is not a spec of carpet in the house. Off the Living Room is a patio which leads to a nice backyard (25'x 22.5') plus a side-yard. This home is solid brick - the South's best insulator for lower electric bills - and it never needs painting! Smart!! Finally, these houses are nicely set apart for more privacy.

This home is so well designed that you will think you are in a 1700sf home; but you only have to pay for 1514sf. Smart! It has every amenity. We start with a better than grade slab to a radiant barrier, insulated, 25yr roof. It is a solid brick home (Yes - brick is the Southern home's best insulator - there are no vinyl walls and brick offers both strength & easy maintenance - no Hardi to paint.) and is equipped with energy efficient natural gas heat & hot water and Low-E Tilt-in Vinyl-clad Windows. The best news, this home has a large (22.5'x22') 2-car garage - big enough to fit your big truck and more. Everything is designed to offer energy efficiency, simple up-keep, and affordable elegance - from the moment you arrive, as you drive up through the wrought iron arched entrance or stroll down to a walking park planted with 32 select trees. Every home is unique, even the mailbox will be uniquely chosen BY YOU!! Located across from Pelican Park, there is room to play in the spacious live oak shaded park across the street - big enough for football, baseball, picnics and more; ask us about the Mercredi Show! There's ALL of that and you're just 15 minutes from everything!! Take University to Downtown or Mills to the Mall, not to mention easy access to the I-49/I-10 exchange. You have City Sewer and Water and NONE of this truly peaceful (only one entrance), 71-lot development is in a negative flood zone. (It's all Zone X) 100% financing for qualified buyers!!! There are still a few things left to do, like exterior landscaping, touch-up paint, a final clean; but we'll be ready when you are. So come, take a peek! Your custom-made 8' Mahogany front-door is waiting for you to open the possibilities. Better hurry!!

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

• This is a 3-bed/2.0-bath other listed at $243k.

Deal economics

• At list price, monthly cash flow is $-83 ($-1k/yr) — negative.
• To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $228k (6.1% below list).
• To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $188k (22.7% below list).
• Recommended offer: $188k (22.7% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.

Location & tenants

• Location reads 69/100 on livability (#65 in LA) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+, health & safety A+; Watch: employment C-, crime D, amenities F.
• Lafayette Parish (urban): math 38% / reading 46% proficiency, ranked #19 of 98 in LA (top 19%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
• Zoned schools: J. Wallace James Elementary School (math 46% / reading 49%, grade D, #147 of 646 statewide, top 23%, 939 students, 64% FRL); Carencro Middle School (math 18% / reading 28%, grade F, #145 of 218 statewide, top 69%, 665 students, 75% FRL); Carencro High School (math 30% / reading 29%, grade F, #127 of 265 statewide, top 49%, 1,096 students, 69% FRL).
• Market conditions: 281 active listings in the ZIP; 3 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals lingering (median 46d on market — plan ~5-8 weeks vacancy on turnover, expect pricing pressure); 67% of comp listings sitting > 30 days — soft ceiling on asking rent; 1,585 units permitted in Lafayette Parish in 2024 (10 in 5+ unit buildings).

Forward outlook

• Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $2k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $7k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
• Lafayette County population projected at +34% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.

Negotiation context

• It's been on market 730 days — a 12% lower offer ($214k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
• 7 sale attempts since 16y ago; this cycle's ask has dropped $35k (13%) from the opening price — seller is motivated, your offer sets the floor, not the list.

Risks & watch-outs

• Climate carrying-cost: severe wind risk, 99% chance of damaging wind over 30y; extreme-heat days projected 7→20/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.

Recommended offer $187,805 (22.7% 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 730 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 23% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
3. What does the HOA fee cover, when was the last increase, and are there any pending special assessments or reserve-fund shortfalls?
4. Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
5. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
6. Crime grade is D 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?
7. 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?
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 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.

Every time you pull into the garage and enter your brand-new home, you will be greeted by your beautiful, perfect, formal dining room bathed in soft grey walls with creamy white trim and traditional White Oak laminate flooring with hints of pale grey in rich beige tones extending throughout the home. It's a spacious dining area (12'x9.5') which will fit that fabulous dining room table with room enough for a china cabinet or buffet or even a piano... and there is a wall of windows allowing the natural light to make everything glow. Of course, if you prefer, this could be a gorgeous home office. Now, on to the kitchen where you have what every Louisiana chef loves, a gas stove - that vents to the OUTSIDE. Plus, there's a full-length windowed eat-in breakfast nook and two double-door pantries! Though, it doesn't really feel like a kitchen...it is open to the Living Room and is so beautifully appointed it truly sets the place. There is a single slab granite island with loads of storage that looks more like a piece of furniture than a counter. The living room is 17'6"'x16' with tons of windows and a gas fireplace with adjacent built-in shelving. The Master Bedroom too is generous (13.5'x14') and has Sound Insulation in the Master Bedroom walls - something you won't truly appreciate until after you move in. The Master Bath hosts a large garden tub highlighted by a 4'x4' window above that just makes the space! Plus, there's a separate 4' shower with a corner seat, a toilet tucked away in its own private space, an undermount double vanity slab granite counter...did I mention - his and her closets!! And there is more - a coat closet off the foyer, a large linen closet next to a good-sized laundry room and two well-proportioned smaller bedrooms (12'x11.5') both with additional large double-door closets. And there is not a spec of carpet in the house. Off the Living Room, you'll have a covered patio as you walk out to a nice backyard (25'x 22.5') with an adjoining side-yard that would be perfect for a kid's playset or a volleyball net or your favorite garden. This home is so well designed that you will think you are in a 1700sf home; but you only have to pay for 1514sf. Smart! It has every amenity. We start with a better than grade slab to a radiant barrier, insulated, 25yr roof. It is a solid brick home (Yes - brick is the Southern home's best insulator - there are no vinyl walls and brick offers both strength & easy maintenance - no Hardi to paint.) and is equipped with energy efficient natural gas heat & hot water and Low-E Tilt-in Vinyl-clad Windows. The best news, this home has a large (22.5'x22') 2-car garage - big enough to fit your big truck and more. Everything is designed to offer energy efficiency, simple up-keep, and affordable elegance - from the moment you arrive, as you drive up through the wrought iron arched entrance or stroll down to a walking park planted with 32 select trees. Every home is unique, even the mailbox will be uniquely chosen BY YOU!! Located across from Pelican Park, there is room to play in the spacious live oak shaded park across the street - big enough for football, baseball, picnics and more; ask us about the Mercredi Show! There's ALL of that and you're just 15 minutes from everything!! Take University to Downtown or Mills to the Mall, not to mention easy access to the I-49/I-10 exchange. You have City Sewer and Water and NONE of this truly peaceful (only one entrance), 71-lot development is in a negative flood zone. (It's all Zone X) 100% financing for qualified buyers!!!

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.
