Investor read
This is a 1-bed/1.5-bath other listed at $100k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $-76 ($-909/yr) — negative.
To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $87k (13.4% below list).
To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $77k (22.5% below list).
It's been on market 62 days — a 6% lower offer ($94k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $77k (22.5% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $691 of loan paydown is wiped out by about $3k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
Location reads 56/100 on livability (#677 in MO) — a working-class tenant base; expect higher turnover. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+; Watch: crime F, amenities F, commute F.
Ste. Genevieve County R-II (town): math 46% / reading 50% proficiency, ranked #59 of 324 in MO (top 18%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
Zoned schools: Bloomsdale Elem. (math 52% / reading 47%, grade D, #284 of 1,115 statewide, top 30%, 327 students, 43% FRL); Ste. Genevieve Middle (math 49% / reading 47%, grade C-, #84 of 391 statewide, top 22%, 421 students, 39% FRL); Ste. Genevieve Sr. High (math 22% / reading 67%, grade F, #179 of 521 statewide, top 39%, 517 students, 34% FRL) — zoned schools at 39% FRL track the district average.
Market conditions: 54 active listings in the ZIP; 8 units permitted in Ste. Genevieve County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
Ste. Genevieve County population projected to shrink 10% by 2050 — rents likely to lag national; underwrite the cash flow, not the appreciation.
3 sale attempts since 10y ago; this cycle's ask has dropped $20k (17%) from the opening price — seller is motivated, your offer sets the floor, not the list.
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 62 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 22% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
What does the HOA fee cover, when was the last increase, and are there any pending special assessments or reserve-fund shortfalls?
Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
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.
