Listing remarks MLS

Welcome to 124 E Ashby - a rare historic 8-unit multifamily property located in the heart of Tobin Hill, one of Downtown San Antonio's most walkable and desirable neighborhoods. Originally a grand historic mansion, this architecturally distinctive property features hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, arched doorways, oversized windows, and spacious layouts - each unit offering its own unique character and charm. This is not a commodity apartment complex - it's a boutique historic asset with irreplaceable architectural appeal. Current rents are potentially under market, presenting a compelling value-add opportunity for investors seeking long-term upside. With 75% occupancy and immediate leasing potential on remaining units, there is a clear path toward stabilization and improved cash flow. A stabilized pro forma supports a 5% cap scenario, offering investors the opportunity to increase rents to market levels while benefiting from one of San Antonio's strongest rental corridors. Located just steps from St. Mary's Strip, residents enjoy walkable access to nightlife, restaurants, and entertainment. The property is also minutes from The Pearl, San Antonio College, and Downtown. This drives consistent tenant demand and long-term appreciation potential. This is a location-driven investment with built-in rental growth opportunity in a neighborhood where historic character and walkability command premium interest. 124 E Ashby is ideal for investors looking to reposition a unique historic asset in a high-growth urban submarket - not just another multifamily property, but a long-term hold with upside!

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 8 × 12-bed/8.0-bath units multifamily listed at $1.20M.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $4k ($47k/yr) — positive. Per door: $492/mo.
  • The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
  • Meets the 1% rule at list price ($15k rent vs $1.20M).
  • Recommended offer: $1.09M (9.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
  • Cap rate 10.2% vs local median 3.8% in San Antonio — top-decile yield for the area; either an underpriced asset or a hidden risk that comps aren't pricing in. Stress-test before assuming the spread holds.

Location & tenants

  • Location reads 80/100 on livability (#31 in TX, #1,616 nationally) — a professional / high-income tenant draw. Strengths: amenities A+, commute A+, cost of living A+; Watch: schools C-, crime F.
  • San Antonio ISD (urban): math 12% / reading 22% proficiency, ranked #805 of 826 in TX (top 98%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover; 80% free/reduced lunch — lower-income household profile, screen leases tightly.
  • Market conditions: Rents flat; 175 active listings in the ZIP; 8,308 units permitted in Bexar County in 2024 (2,506 in 5+ unit buildings).
  • At $15,345/mo this rent would consume 293% of the median local household income ($63k/yr) (locally 1505% of renters already pay >50% of income on rent) — very limited rent-growth headroom before tenants either downsize or default.

Forward outlook

  • Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $8k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $36k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
  • Bexar County population projected at +50% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 115 days — a 9% lower offer ($1.09M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
  • 2 sale attempts since 11y 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.
  • Current owner paid $170k; list at $1.20M implies a 605% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.

Risks & watch-outs

  • Watch-outs: built in 1915 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
  • Climate carrying-cost: major wind risk, 77% chance of damaging wind over 30y; extreme-heat days projected 7→21/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Recommended offer $1,092,000 (9.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. It's been on market 115 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 9% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
  2. Can we see the unit-by-unit rent roll, current vacancy, and any below-market leases? What's the average tenancy length?
  3. What capital expenditures (roof, boiler, parking lot, exteriors) have been made in the last 5 years, and what's planned in the next 2?
  4. Built in 1915 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
  5. Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
  6. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  7. 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?
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. How much new apartment / multifamily construction is in the pipeline within 1–3 miles? Heavy new supply (>2% of stock underway) typically softens rents 12–24 months out; light construction supports rent growth.

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.
