Investor read

• This is a 2-bed/1.0-bath single-family listed at $68k. Condition is rated fair.
• At list price, monthly cash flow is $197 ($2k/yr) — positive.
• The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
• Meets the 1% rule at list price ($844 rent vs $68k).
• It's been on market 100 days — a 9% lower offer ($62k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
• Recommended offer: $62k (9.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
• In year one you build about $2k of equity ($470 loan paydown + $1k appreciation (1.8% local appreciation)).
• Location reads 69/100 on livability (#535 in OH) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+, health & safety A+; Watch: crime C-, amenities F, commute F.
• Bellaire Local (rural): math 73% / reading 56% proficiency, ranked #430 of 802 in OH (top 54%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
• Watch-outs: built in 1912 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
• Market conditions: 26 active listings in the ZIP; lower-income renter base — watch delinquency; 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.
• At projected returns (1.8% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $19k cash investment doubles in ~5 years — after that, you're playing with house money.

Questions for listing agent

• It's been on market 100 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 9% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
• Have any recent inspections been done? Can we get a copy of the seller's disclosures and any deferred-maintenance estimates?
• Built in 1912 — 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 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?
• 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.
