Victorian Triplex. Renovation Started, Ready for Completion. Value-Add Opportunity. Unlock the potential of this classic Victorian triplex where major renovation work has already been started-but now needs the right investor to bring it across the finish line. HVAC, Electrical, and Plumbing has the major work completed. This is a stalled project opportunity, perfect for a buyer looking to step into a partially completed renovation and create serious upside. Each unit includes a brand-new appliance package (ready for installation), allowing you to complete the project with modern finishes while preserving the character and charm that make Victorian properties stand out in the rental market. 3-unit Victorian triplex with strong architectural appeal. Renovation started by previous owner - not completed. Opportunity to customize finishes and maximize ARV. Significant upside potential with completion. Ideal for investors seeking: A value-add multi-family project. Ability to build equity through completion. Strong after-repair value (ARV) and rental income potential. A project with a head start-without starting from scratch. This is your chance to take over a partially completed project and turn it into a high-performing income-producing property. Run the DSCR numbers on this one! Finish it. Stabilize it. Cash flow it!

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 3 × 5-bed/3.0-bath units multifamily listed at $175k.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $2k ($29k/yr) — positive. Per door: $802/mo.
  • The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
  • Meets the 1% rule at list price ($5k rent vs $175k).
  • Recommended offer: $164k (6.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
  • Cap rate 22.8% vs local median 4.3% in Greencastle — 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 73/100 on livability (#108 in IN) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+; Watch: schools C-, employment C-, amenities F.
  • Greencastle Community School Corporation (town): math 38% / reading 42% proficiency, ranked #145 of 301 in IN (top 48%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
  • Market conditions: 97 active listings in the ZIP; 166 units permitted in Putnam County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).

Forward outlook

  • Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $1k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $5k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
  • Putnam 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 $49k cash investment doubles in ~2 years — after that, you're playing with house money.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 61 days — a 6% lower offer ($164k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
  • 15 sale attempts since 27y 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.

Risks & watch-outs

  • Watch-outs: built in 1900 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Recommended offer $164,406 (6.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. It's been on market 61 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 6% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
  2. Can we see the unit-by-unit rent roll, current vacancy, and any below-market leases? What's the average tenancy length?
  3. What capital expenditures (roof, boiler, parking lot, exteriors) have been made in the last 5 years, and what's planned in the next 2?
  4. Built in 1900 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
  5. Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
  6. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.

    ATTENTION all investors and landlords; this triplex is a historical house in Putnam County! The hard work has been done in cleaning it out and starting the remodeling process; the roof is close to a year old! This triplex is within walking distance of DePauw, Greencastle Square, and many other businesses. This triplex has so much potential to convert the three individual apartments, an Air BnB, into one big home for larger families. It still has a lot of the original floors, woodwork, and doors including the knobs and hinges. Put your charm into this diamond in the rough and watch it sparkle. Corner location with off-street parking in the back, a fantastic front porch to enjoy hearing the music from the square during First Fridays, the Music Fest, and all the exciting activities that Greencastle has to offer. This is a historical home in Putnam County and it is begging for your personal touch! Contact your favorite realtor today!

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.
