Investor read
This is a 3-bed/1.0-bath single-family listed at $190k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $46 ($546/yr) — positive.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $160k (15.8% below list).
It's been on market 48 days — a 3% lower offer ($184k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $160k (15.8% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $1k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $6k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
Location reads 60/100 on livability (#995 in OH) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+; Watch: crime D+, amenities F, commute F.
Edgewood City (rural): math 43% / reading 57% proficiency, ranked #427 of 656 in OH (top 65%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
Zoned schools: Edgewood Middle School (math 37% / reading 51%, grade D, #484 of 654 statewide, top 74%, 832 students, 40% FRL); Edgewood High School (math 34% / reading 70%, grade D+, #343 of 781 statewide, top 47%, 1,167 students, 34% FRL).
Market conditions: 71 active listings in the ZIP; 1,163 units permitted in Butler County in 2024 (356 in 5+ unit buildings).
7 sale attempts since 26y 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.
Current owner paid $128k; 48% above their basis — modest negotiation headroom, anchor on the comps not their cost.
Questions for listing agent
It's been on market 48 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 16% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
Built in 1964 — 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 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?
Crime grade is D in this area — have there been break-ins, vandalism, or insurance claims at this property in the last 3 years? What carrier currently insures it and at what premium?
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.
