Listing remarks MLS
This two-bedroom, one-bathroom property offers a straightforward layout and a solid head start for buyers looking to build equity or add to a rental portfolio. The covered front porch provides a welcoming entry, leading directly into the living room and adjoining dining area. Overhead, you will find updated plumbing lines already installed, saving time on future renovations. The kitchen comes equipped with included appliances and provides direct access to the outdoors. A highly functional flat backyard offers plenty of usable space. Parking is convenient thanks to wide street access, designated rear off-street parking, and a detached one-car garage. Upstairs, the full bathroom remodel is already underway, featuring a brand-new tub and shower surround ready for completion. The primary bedroom provides generous dimensions along with a sizable walk-in closet and access to the attic for additional storage space, while the second bedroom offers flexibility and natural light. Head down to the unfinished basement to find ample ceiling height, an updated 100-amp electrical panel, a dedicated laundry area, and easy access to the water heater and furnace. The property does require some localized roof patching from a recent storm, presenting an immediate value-add opportunity for the right buyer. Situated on a historically wide street, the location allows for great functionality and an easy commute to local amenities. Bring your contractor tools and vision to capitalize on the foundational work already completed. Search the property address on YouTube for a full video tour.

What this means for you Summary
Snapshot
- This is a 2-bed/1.0-bath single-family listed at $59k.
Deal economics
- At list price, monthly cash flow is $557 ($7k/yr) — positive.
- The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
- Meets the 1% rule at list price ($1k rent vs $59k).
- Recommended offer: $54k (9.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
Location & tenants
- Location reads 82/100 on livability (#153 in PA, #1,275 nationally) — a professional / high-income tenant draw. Strengths: commute A+, cost of living A+, housing A+; Watch: amenities F, employment D-.
- New Brighton Area SD (suburban): math 17% / reading 37% proficiency, ranked #458 of 539 in PA (top 85%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover.
- Market conditions: 42 active listings in the ZIP; 10 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals leasing fast (median 12d on market — plan ~1-2 weeks tenant-placement turnaround); 272 units permitted in Beaver County in 2024 (80 in 5+ unit buildings).
Forward outlook
- Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $408 of loan paydown is wiped out by about $2k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
- Beaver County population projected at -14% by 2050 — secular population decline; favor cash flow + early exit over multi-decade hold.
- At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $17k cash investment doubles in ~3 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
Negotiation context
- It's been on market 112 days — a 9% lower offer ($54k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Risks & watch-outs
- Watch-outs: built in 1920 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Questions for the listing agent
- It's been on market 112 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 9% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
- Built in 1920 — 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.
- 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.

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.
