This is a 5-bed/6.0-bath condo listed at $10.95M.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $-67k ($-804k/yr) — negative.
To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $1.26M (88.5% below list).
To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $1.10M (89.9% below list).
It's been on market 353 days — a 12% lower offer ($9.64M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $1.10M (89.9% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
In year one you build about $1.17M of equity ($76k loan paydown + $1.09M appreciation (10.0% local appreciation)).
Location reads 66/100 on livability (#142 in CO) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: commute A+, employment A+; Watch: amenities F, cost of living F, health & safety F.
Aspen School District No. 1 In The County Of Pitkin And Sta (rural): math 36% / reading 56% proficiency, ranked #18 of 86 in CO (top 21%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases; only 4% free/reduced lunch — higher-income household profile.
Zoned schools: Aspen Elementary School (math 32% / reading 52%, grade F, #321 of 966 statewide, top 35%, 440 students, 0% FRL); Aspen Middle School (math 30% / reading 49%, grade F, #84 of 270 statewide, top 32%, 443 students, 0% FRL); Aspen High School (math 47% / reading 72%, grade C+, #53 of 381 statewide, top 17%, 529 students, 0% FRL) — zoned schools at 0% FRL track the district average.
Market conditions: Rents rising fast (+22.1%/yr); 324 active listings in the ZIP; solid renter incomes; 145 units permitted in Pitkin County in 2024 (89 in 5+ unit buildings).
Pitkin County population projected at +20% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.
Current owner paid $3.50M; list at $10.95M implies a 213% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
By year 2, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$1.88M cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
At $11,031/mo this rent would consume 160% of the median local household income ($83k/yr) (locally 566% of renters already pay >50% of income on rent) — very limited rent-growth headroom before tenants either downsize or default.
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 353 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 90% 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?
Any open or pending special assessments — roof, HVAC, plumbing, elevator, façade? What's the per-unit balance and payoff schedule, and is the seller paying it off at close or rolling it to the buyer?
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 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?
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?
