Listing remarks

A well-maintained Rohnert Park investment with strong and experienced management already in place. Eight units across two buildings on a large . 4-acre lot, with a highly rentable mix of five 2bd/1ba and three 1 bd/1ba. All units are currently occupied at below-market rents, leaving room to grow income over time. Recent capital improvements include a new roof and new electrical panels, making this a well-maintained asset with the heavy lifting already complete. Covered carport parking for each unit along with on-site laundry adds to tenant appeal and generates additional income. Situated just off Hwy 101 between Cotati and Rohnert Park, less than five minutes from Sonoma State University. A

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 8 × 2-bed/1.0-bath units multifamily listed at $1.73M.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $2k ($26k/yr) — positive. Per door: $274/mo.
  • The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
  • Meets the 1% rule at list price ($18k rent vs $1.73M).
  • Recommended offer: $1.70M (1.5% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
  • Cap rate 7.8% vs local median 2.9% in Rohnert Park — 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 75/100 on livability (#116 in CA, #4,166 nationally) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: commute A+, employment A+, health & safety A+; Watch: cost of living F.
  • Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified (suburban): math 24% / reading 61% proficiency, ranked #205 of 517 in CA (top 40%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
  • Zoned schools: John Reed Primary (378 students, 80% FRL); Technology Middle (math 24% / reading 24%, grade F, #277 of 498 statewide, top 73%, 426 students, 68% FRL); Rancho Cotate High (math 12% / reading 57%, grade F, #618 of 1,170 statewide, top 56%, 1,611 students, 36% FRL) — zoned schools average 61% FRL vs 36% district-wide (25 pts higher); higher-poverty schools than district average — tighter screening recommended.
  • Zoned-school proficiency averages 30% at this address vs 42% district-wide (-13 pts) — the specific schools serving this property underperform the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified average; the district grade overstates school quality for this exact location.
  • Market conditions: Rents rising (+2.7%/yr); 100 active listings in the ZIP; solid renter incomes; 1,039 units permitted in Sonoma County in 2024 (185 in 5+ unit buildings).
  • At $17,608/mo this rent would consume 213% of the median local household income ($99k/yr) (locally 2507% of renters already pay >50% of income on rent) — very limited rent-growth headroom before tenants either downsize or default.

Forward outlook

  • Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $12k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $52k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
  • Sonoma County population projected at +8% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 16 days — a 2% lower offer ($1.70M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
  • 3 sale attempts since 6y ago 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.
  • Current owner paid $1.10M; list at $1.73M implies a 57% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.

Risks & watch-outs

  • Climate carrying-cost: moderate flood risk — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Recommended offer $1,704,050 (1.5% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. Can we see the unit-by-unit rent roll, current vacancy, and any below-market leases? What's the average tenancy length?
  2. What capital expenditures (roof, boiler, parking lot, exteriors) have been made in the last 5 years, and what's planned in the next 2?
  3. Built in 1973 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
  4. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  5. 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?
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
