Investor read
This is a 6-bed/3.0-bath single-family listed at $260k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $-75 ($-901/yr) — negative.
To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $247k (5.1% below list).
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($3k rent vs $260k).
It's been on market 90 days — a 6% lower offer ($244k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $244k (6.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
In year one you build about $4k of equity ($2k loan paydown + $3k appreciation (1.0% local appreciation)).
Location reads 67/100 on livability (#112 in LA) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+, health & safety A+; Watch: amenities F, commute F, employment F.
Watch-outs: flood insurance adds $669/mo.
Market conditions: 49 active listings in the ZIP; 88 units permitted in Plaquemines Parish in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
Plaquemines County population projected at +6% by 2050 — modest demand growth; plan on rents tracking national, not racing it.
8 sale attempts since 19y 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.
By year 7, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$30k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Climate carrying-cost: in FEMA flood zone VE (mandatory federal flood insurance); severe wind risk, 99% chance of damaging wind over 30y; extreme-heat days projected 7→23/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
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 90 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 6% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
What's the actual annual flood-insurance premium (NFIP or private), and is the property in a SFHA with mandatory coverage?
What does the HOA fee cover, when was the last increase, and are there any pending special assessments or reserve-fund shortfalls?
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.
