Investor read
This is a 2-bed/1.0-bath other listed at $125k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $-56 ($-676/yr) — negative.
To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $115k (8.0% below list).
To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $85k (31.9% below list).
It's been on market 40 days — a 3% lower offer ($121k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $85k (31.9% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
In year one you build about $13k of equity ($864 loan paydown + $12k appreciation (9.5% local appreciation)).
Location reads 56/100 on livability (#706 in MO) — a working-class tenant base; expect higher turnover. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A; Watch: crime F, amenities F, commute F.
Weaubleau R-III (rural): math 45% / reading 60% proficiency, ranked #103 of 535 in MO (top 19%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
Zoned schools: Weaubleau Elem. (math 47% / reading 62%, grade C, #190 of 1,115 statewide, top 19%, 188 students, 64% FRL); Weaubleau High (math 32% / reading 47%, grade F, #247 of 521 statewide, top 55%, 160 students, 54% FRL) — zoned schools at 59% FRL track the district average.
Market conditions: 15 active listings in the ZIP.
Hickory County population projected at -26% by 2050 — secular population decline; favor cash flow + early exit over multi-decade hold.
Current owner paid $54k; list at $125k implies a 134% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
At projected returns (9.5% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $35k cash investment doubles in ~3 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
By year 3, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$32k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Climate carrying-cost: moderate wildfire risk; extreme-heat days projected 7→19/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Questions for listing agent
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?
It's been on market 40 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 32% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
Built in 1970 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
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?
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.
