Listing remarks MLS

Very rare chance to own a truly iconic home that represents a piece of Miamisburg history. The home of it's 1st doctor. .. .Dr. John Treon. This beautiful home has been well maintained and sits on almost a 1/2 acre lot. The home has 3 or 4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, formal dining and large living room with beautiful marble fireplace (there's also a marble fireplace in the primary bedroom), curved staircase, unfinished basement (with W/ D hook-up), and 3rd floor walk-up attic that has 2 rooms and holds so much possibilty for additional finished sq footage. OPPORTUNITY KNOCK'S HERE TOO! Here's another FANTASTIC feature of this property! There are 7 apartments too! Think of the cash flow here as an investor or an owner occupant!! The apartments range from an efficiency, 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom units. 4 are attached to the main home and 3 are ranch units behind the main home. There is a parking lot for tenants also! These units are always easy to rent and there are some long term tenants. The walk to all of thriving downtown Miamisburg offers is just a block or two! Both the main house and the ranch apartments are of brick construction. There is a detached 1 car garage and 1 car carport. You'll love the yard space too! There is a walk-out basement under a unit in the brick ranch building. Owner occupies the main house. This would be a very rentable home for the non-owner occupied Buyer. Current appox greoss rent is 60,000 yrearly. The main home could potentially be rented (potetial rent of $ 2200 x 12 mos=$ 26,400) This would bring a yearly rents to approx 86,400. Approx yrly expenses are $2800 insurance-$3600 water/sewer/trash-$10,300 taxes.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 4-bed/1.5-bath multifamily listed at $650k.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $2k ($28k/yr) — positive.
  • The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
  • Meets the 1% rule at list price ($9k rent vs $650k).
  • Recommended offer: $611k (6.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
  • Cap rate 10.6% vs local median 2.9% in Miamisburg — 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 76/100 on livability (#228 in OH, #3,550 nationally) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+, crime A-; Watch: health & safety C-, amenities F, commute F.
  • Miamisburg City (suburban): math 52% / reading 61% proficiency, ranked #338 of 656 in OH (top 52%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
  • Zoned schools: Kinder Elementary School (math 47% / reading 47%, grade D-, #942 of 1,584 statewide, top 61%, 312 students, 58% FRL); Miamisburg Middle School (math 53% / reading 58%, grade B-, #321 of 654 statewide, top 51%, 1,160 students, 44% FRL); Miamisburg High School (math 34% / reading 73%, grade C-, #334 of 781 statewide, top 43%, 1,557 students, 33% FRL).
  • Market conditions: Rents rising (+3.3%/yr); 116 active listings in the ZIP; 4 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals lingering (median 46d on market — plan ~5-8 weeks vacancy on turnover, expect pricing pressure); 50% of comp listings sitting > 30 days — soft ceiling on asking rent; solid renter incomes; 907 units permitted in Montgomery County in 2024 (416 in 5+ unit buildings).
  • At $8,622/mo this rent would consume 122% of the median local household income ($85k/yr) (locally 790% 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 $4k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $19k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
  • Montgomery County population projected at -10% by 2050 — secular population decline; favor cash flow + early exit over multi-decade hold.
  • At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 3.3% rent growth), your $182k cash investment doubles in ~8 years — after that, you're playing with house money.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 82 days — a 6% lower offer ($611k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
  • 3 sale attempts since 13y 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 1890 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Recommended offer $610,906 (6.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. It's been on market 82 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 6% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
  2. Built in 1890 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
  3. Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
  4. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  5. Schools are B-rated — typically a magnet for longer-tenancy family renters. What's the average tenant stay here, and is there a school-zone premium baked into asking?
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
