Investor read
This is a 2-bed/1.0-bath manufactured listed at $22k. Condition is rated fair.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $701 ($8k/yr) — positive.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($1k rent vs $22k).
It's been on market 65 days — a 6% lower offer ($21k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $21k (6.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $152 of loan paydown is wiped out by about $660 of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
Location reads: area grade D — affects rentability + tenant quality, not the cash-flow math above.
Boise Independent District (urban): math 42% / reading 56% proficiency, ranked #36 of 92 in ID (top 39%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
Zoned schools: Whitney Elementary School (math 23% / reading 29%, grade F, #329 of 357 statewide, top 92%, 476 students, 99% FRL); South Junior High School (math 27% / reading 41%, grade F, #86 of 109 statewide, top 79%, 565 students, 44% FRL); Borah Senior High School (math 34% / reading 57%, grade D-, #59 of 169 statewide, top 35%, 1,289 students, 25% FRL) — zoned schools average 56% FRL vs 33% district-wide (23 pts higher); higher-poverty schools than district average — tighter screening recommended.
Zoned-school proficiency averages 35% at this address vs 49% district-wide (-14 pts) — the specific schools serving this property underperform the Boise Independent District average; the district grade overstates school quality for this exact location.
Market conditions: Rents rising fast (+7.4%/yr); 260 active listings in the ZIP; 21 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals lingering (median 72d on market — plan ~5-8 weeks vacancy on turnover, expect pricing pressure); 57% of comp listings sitting > 30 days — soft ceiling on asking rent; 5,129 units permitted in Ada County in 2024 (414 in 5+ unit buildings).
Ada County population projected at +45% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.
At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 7.4% rent growth), your $6k cash investment doubles in ~1 year — after that, you're playing with house money.
Cap rate 44.5% vs local median 2.8% in Boise City — 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.
Questions for listing agent
It's been on market 65 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 6% 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 1977 — 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.
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.
Repairs flagged (vision-AI assessment)
