Investor read
This is a 2 × 1-bed/1.0-bath units multifamily listed at $125k. Condition is rated fair.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $315 ($4k/yr) — positive. Per door: $157/mo.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($2k rent vs $125k).
Only 12 days on market — expect competitive offers; lowballing is unlikely to land.
Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $864 of loan paydown is wiped out by about $4k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
Location reads 78/100 on livability (#34 in IN, #2,683 nationally) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: crime A+, amenities A+, cost of living A+; Watch: commute F, employment D-.
Logansport Community School Corporation (town): math 26% / reading 32% proficiency, ranked #252 of 301 in IN (top 84%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover.
Zoned schools: Fairview Elementary School (math 47% / reading 37%, grade F, #434 of 994 statewide, top 48%, 449 students, 78% FRL); Logansport Junior High School (math 17% / reading 30%, grade F, #257 of 330 statewide, top 79%, 607 students, 67% FRL); Logansport Community High School (math 24% / reading 46%, grade F, #266 of 369 statewide, top 73%, 1,224 students, 62% FRL) — zoned schools average 69% FRL vs 50% district-wide (18 pts higher); higher-poverty schools than district average — tighter screening recommended.
Watch-outs: flood insurance adds $66/mo.
Market conditions: 131 active listings in the ZIP; 22 units permitted in Cass County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
Cass County population projected at -16% by 2050 — secular population decline; favor cash flow + early exit over multi-decade hold.
2 sale attempts since 12y 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.
At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $35k cash investment doubles in ~10 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
Climate carrying-cost: severe flood risk — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Cap rate 10.0% vs local median 4.5% in Logansport — 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
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?
What's the actual annual flood-insurance premium (NFIP or private), and is the property in a SFHA with mandatory coverage?
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?
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.
