Listing remarks MLS
There’s something about a home that just feels right the moment you step onto the covered front porch… and this one delivers exactly that. Inside, the work has already been done so you can simply move in and start living. The main level has been completely refreshed with durable LVP flooring that flows seamlessly throughout, creating a clean, cohesive space. A large living room welcomes you in with a picture window that fills the space with natural light, anchored by a decorative fireplace that adds just the right touch of character. The layout opens easily into the dining area bright, functional, and ready for everyday meals or weekend gatherings. Just beyond, the updated kitchen brings everything together with granite countertops, shaker-style cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances simple, modern, and designed to work for real life. One of the best parts? The charm that was worth keeping. The original staircase remains, adding a subtle nod to the home’s history and giving the space a personality you just don’t find in newer builds. Upstairs, you’ll find four comfortable bedrooms plenty of space whether you need sleeping quarters, a home office, or a mix of both—along with a full bathroom that serves the level well. The lower level adds even more flexibility, offering great storage space and a newly finished full bathroom with a tiled shower perfect for guests, a workout area, or just a little extra breathing room. Outside, the covered rear porch gives you a quiet place to unwind, while the fenced-in yard offers space for pets, play, or entertaining. A two-car detached garage adds convenience and value, rounding out a home that simply makes sense. Located in Pittsburgh, you’re never far from what makes the city special quick access to local shops, neighborhood parks, and an easy commute into downtown. It’s the kind of location where you can enjoy the feel of a neighborhood while staying connected to everything the city has to offer.

What this means for you Summary
Snapshot
- This is a 3-bed/1.0-bath single-family listed at $138k.
Deal economics
- At list price, monthly cash flow is $121 ($1k/yr) — positive.
- The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
- To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $130k (5.8% below list).
- Recommended offer: $130k (5.8% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
- Cap rate 7.3% vs local median 10.3% in McKeesport — below-typical yield; the buyer is paying a premium for something (appreciation thesis, condition, location) that the cap rate doesn't capture.
Location & tenants
- Location reads 66/100 on livability (#1,089 in PA) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: commute A+, cost of living A+, housing A+; Watch: schools D+, health & safety D, crime F.
- Mckeesport Area SD (suburban): math 11% / reading 28% proficiency, ranked #499 of 539 in PA (top 93%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover; 66% free/reduced lunch — lower-income household profile, screen leases tightly.
- Market conditions: 113 active listings in the ZIP; 11 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals at typical pace (median 24d on market — plan ~3-4 weeks tenant-placement turnaround); lower-income renter base — watch delinquency; 2,996 units permitted in Allegheny County in 2024 (1,588 in 5+ unit buildings).
- This rent runs 44% of the median local income ($35k/yr) — at the standard rent-burdened threshold; future hikes will face affordability resistance.
Forward outlook
- Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $958 of loan paydown is wiped out by about $4k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
Negotiation context
- It's been on market 58 days — a 3% lower offer ($134k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
- Current owner paid $19k; list at $138k implies a 625% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
Risks & watch-outs
- Watch-outs: built in 1910 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Questions for the listing agent
- It's been on market 58 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 6% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
- Built in 1910 — 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.
- 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.
- How much new for-sale + rental construction is in the pipeline within 1–3 miles? Heavy new supply typically softens prices + rents 12–24 months out; constrained supply supports both.

There’s something about a home that just feels right the moment you step onto the covered front porch… and this one delivers exactly that. Inside, the work has already been done so you can simply move in and start living. The main level has been completely refreshed with durable LVP flooring that flows seamlessly throughout, creating a clean, cohesive space. A large living room welcomes you in with a picture window that fills the space with natural light, anchored by a decorative fireplace that adds just the right touch of character. The layout opens easily into the dining area bright, functional, and ready for everyday meals or weekend gatherings. Just beyond, the updated kitchen brings everything together with granite countertops, shaker-style cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances simple, modern, and designed to work for real life. One of the best parts? The charm that was worth keeping. The original staircase remains, adding a subtle nod to the home’s history and giving the space a personality you just don’t find in newer builds. Upstairs, you’ll find four comfortable bedrooms plenty of space whether you need sleeping quarters, a home office, or a mix of both—along with a full bathroom that serves the level well. The lower level adds even more flexibility, offering great storage space and a newly finished full bathroom with a tiled shower perfect for guests, a workout area, or just a little extra breathing room. Outside, the covered rear porch gives you a quiet place to unwind, while the fenced-in yard offers space for pets, play, or entertaining. A two-car detached garage adds convenience and value, rounding out a home that simply makes sense. Located in Pittsburgh, you’re never far from what makes the city special quick access to local shops, neighborhood parks, and an easy commute into downtown.

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.
