Investor read
This is a 2 × 2-bed/1-bath units multifamily listed at $78k. Condition is rated fair.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $1k ($15k/yr) — positive. Per door: $631/mo.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($2k rent vs $78k).
It's been on market 886 days — a 12% lower offer ($69k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $69k (12.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
In year one you build about $8k of equity ($539 loan paydown + $8k appreciation (10.0% local appreciation)).
Location reads 62/100 on livability (#878 in OH) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+; Watch: crime D+, schools D, amenities F.
Union Local (rural): math 39% / reading 60% proficiency, ranked #450 of 656 in OH (top 69%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
Watch-outs: built in 1900 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Market conditions: 9 active listings in the ZIP; 4 units permitted in Belmont County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
Belmont County population projected at -15% by 2050 — secular population decline; favor cash flow + early exit over multi-decade hold.
5 sale attempts since 4y 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.
At projected returns (10.0% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $22k cash investment doubles in ~1 year — after that, you're playing with house money.
By year 5, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$39k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
At $2,280/mo this rent would consume 46% of the median local household income ($59k/yr) — very limited rent-growth headroom before tenants either downsize or default.
Questions for listing agent
It's been on market 886 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 12% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
Can we see the unit-by-unit rent roll, current vacancy, and any below-market leases? What's the average tenancy length?
What capital expenditures (roof, boiler, parking lot, exteriors) have been made in the last 5 years, and what's planned in the next 2?
Have any recent inspections been done? Can we get a copy of the seller's disclosures and any deferred-maintenance estimates?
Built in 1900 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
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.
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?
