Investor read
This is a 2-bed/1.5-bath single-family listed at $950.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $878 ($11k/yr) — positive.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($1k rent vs $950).
It's been on market 24 days — a 2% lower offer ($935) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $935 (1.6% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $6 of loan paydown is wiped out by about $28 of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
Location reads 66/100 on livability (#125 in TN) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+, health & safety A+; Watch: amenities F, commute F, employment F.
Greeneville (town): math 31% / reading 34% proficiency, ranked #45 of 139 in TN (top 32%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
Zoned schools: Eastview Elementary (math 32% / reading 37%, grade F, #319 of 952 statewide, top 37%, 360 students, 0% FRL); Greeneville Middle School (math 28% / reading 26%, grade F, #128 of 333 statewide, top 40%, 571 students, 0% FRL); Greeneville High School (math 42% / reading 55%, grade D, #13 of 332 statewide, top 4%, 958 students, 0% FRL) — zoned schools average 0% FRL vs 42% district-wide (42 pts lower); this property's tenant base skews higher-income than the district average.
Market conditions: 224 active listings in the ZIP; 333 units permitted in Greene County in 2024 (72 in 5+ unit buildings).
Greene County population projected to shrink 8% by 2050 — rents likely to lag national; underwrite the cash flow, not the appreciation.
At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $266 cash investment doubles in ~1 year — after that, you're playing with house money.
Climate carrying-cost: extreme-heat days projected 7→21/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Cap rate 1115.4% vs local median 2.7% in Greeneville — 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
Built in 1979 — 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.
Schools are D-rated, which usually means shorter tenancies and higher turnover. Who's the typical renter profile here, and what's been the actual vacancy rate?
The area grade is low — what's the realistic commute time and amenity access for the typical tenant pool here? Any planned neighborhood developments (good or bad) we should know about?
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.
