Listing remarks MLS
Located just minutes from the Village of Saugerties and tucked near the scenic Esopus Creek, this legal two family property at 13–15 Underwood Street presents a rare opportunity for investors looking to capitalize on a growing Hudson Valley market. This ~1,900 sq ft multi family built in 1933 sits on a .31 acre lot and features two units with a total of 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, offering strong upside for rental income or resale after renovation. The property is in need of a full rehab, making it ideal for seasoned investors, flippers, or anyone looking to create long term value through improvements. With the right vision, this asset can be transformed into a high performing income property or a desirable owner occupied investment. Recent renovations are already underway in the immediate area, with a neighboring property currently being fully renovated highlighting the ongoing investment and revitalization happening in this pocket of Saugerties. Saugerties continues to gain traction as an up and coming Hudson Valley destination, known for its proximity to Kingston, Woodstock, and the NYS Thruway, along with its growing appeal for both full time residents and weekend buyers. Demand for renovated multi family properties in the area remains strong, especially those within close distance to the village, restaurants, and waterfront.

What this means for you Summary
Snapshot
- This is a 2 × 2-bed/1.0-bath units multifamily listed at $250k. Condition is rated poor.
Deal economics
- At list price, monthly cash flow is $2k ($20k/yr) — positive. Per door: $832/mo.
- The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
- Meets the 1% rule at list price ($4k rent vs $250k).
- Recommended offer: $242k (3.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
- Cap rate 14.3% vs local median 2.6% in Saugerties — 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 61/100 on livability (#916 in NY) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: crime A-, housing B+; Watch: schools C-, cost of living C-, amenities F.
- Saugerties Central School District (suburban): math 38% / reading 57% proficiency, ranked #419 of 590 in NY (top 71%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
- Market conditions: 173 active listings in the ZIP; 1 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; solid renter incomes; 464 units permitted in Ulster County in 2024 (170 in 5+ unit buildings).
- At $4,294/mo this rent would consume 64% of the median local household income ($81k/yr) (locally 725% 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 $2k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $8k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
- Ulster 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 $70k cash investment doubles in ~5 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
Negotiation context
- It's been on market 57 days — a 3% lower offer ($242k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Risks & watch-outs
- Watch-outs: built in 1933 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Questions for the listing agent
- It's been on market 57 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 3% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
- Can we see the unit-by-unit rent roll, current vacancy, and any below-market leases? What's the average tenancy length?
- What capital expenditures (roof, boiler, parking lot, exteriors) have been made in the last 5 years, and what's planned in the next 2?
- Have any recent inspections been done? Can we get a copy of the seller's disclosures and any deferred-maintenance estimates?
- Built in 1933 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
- 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 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.
