Investor read
This is a 3-bed/2.0-bath single-family listed at $155k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $-125 ($-2k/yr) — negative.
To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $133k (14.3% below list).
To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $125k (19.1% below list).
It's been on market 81 days — a 6% lower offer ($146k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $125k (19.1% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
In year one you build about $17k of equity ($1k loan paydown + $16k appreciation (10.0% local appreciation)).
Location reads 63/100 on livability (#183 in SC) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+, health & safety A+; Watch: employment D, crime F, amenities F.
Georgetown 01 (town): math 26% / reading 38% proficiency, ranked #51 of 80 in SC (top 64%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
Zoned schools: Andrews Elementary (math 21% / reading 19%, grade F, #492 of 597 statewide, top 83%, 684 students, 100% FRL); Rosemary Middle (math 9% / reading 17%, grade F, #210 of 229 statewide, top 93%, 378 students, 100% FRL); Andrews High (math 27% / reading 77%, grade D+, #142 of 196 statewide, top 74%, 519 students, 100% FRL) — zoned schools average 100% FRL vs 59% district-wide (41 pts higher); higher-poverty schools than district average — tighter screening recommended.
Market conditions: 58 active listings in the ZIP; 323 units permitted in Georgetown County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
2 sale attempts since 4y ago; this cycle's ask has dropped $110k (42%) from the opening price — seller is motivated, your offer sets the floor, not the list.
Current owner paid $125k; 24% above their basis — modest negotiation headroom, anchor on the comps not their cost.
By year 3, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$42k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Climate carrying-cost: severe wind risk, 98% chance of damaging wind over 30y; extreme-heat days projected 7→18/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Cap rate 5.3% vs local median 3.5% in Andrews — 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
What do current leases actually rent for vs. the listed asking? Can we see a recent rent roll and the last 12 months of T-12 income?
It's been on market 81 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 19% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
Built in 1965 — 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 F-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?
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.
