Multi-family units
County records classify this as Multi-Family (5+ Unit). Listing-text estimate: 15 units. confirmed
5+ unit building — per-unit beds/baths from public records are typically unavailable; the breakdown below (if shown) is an estimate from the listing text.
Listing remarks
Rare 15-unit acquisition opportunity in the highly sought-after Salt Lake City Avenues (687 E 2nd Ave & 119 N K St). This historic 1905 trophy asset offers massive, immediate upside. Three units are scheduled for vacancy in March 2026, allowing the new owner to capture top-of-market rents on Day 1 and force instant equity. Current average rents are significantly below market (Studios averaging $560/mo; 1-Bedrooms averaging $882/mo), providing a clear and proven path to aggressive revenue growth. -------------- The heavy lifting has already been completed with over $62,000 in recent CapEx, including a $32,000 driveway replacement, a $22,000 electrical upgrade, and an $8,000 new porch.
Key facts
- Force instant equity
- Vacancy in march
- Top of market rents

What this means for you Summary
Snapshot
- This is a 15 × 10-bed/15.0-bath units multifamily listed at $1.80M.
Deal economics
- At list price, monthly cash flow is $12k ($143k/yr) — positive. Per door: $796/mo.
- The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
- Meets the 1% rule at list price ($29k rent vs $1.80M).
- Recommended offer: $1.64M (9.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
Location & tenants
- Location reads 75/100 on livability (#64 in UT, #3,994 nationally) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: amenities A+, commute A+, housing A; Watch: cost of living D+, crime F.
- Salt Lake District (urban): math 30% / reading 37% proficiency, ranked #65 of 80 in UT (top 81%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
- Zoned schools: Wasatch School (math 53% / reading 56%, grade C, #106 of 585 statewide, top 19%, 337 students, 31% FRL); Salt Lake Center For Science Education Bryant (math 14% / reading 29%, grade F, #125 of 138 statewide, top 91%, 407 students, 64% FRL); West High (math 33% / reading 60%, grade D-, #38 of 171 statewide, top 24%, 2,600 students, 51% FRL).
- Market conditions: Rents rising (+1.6%/yr); 205 active listings in the ZIP; solid renter incomes; 4,970 units permitted in Salt Lake County in 2024 (1,963 in 5+ unit buildings).
- At $29,012/mo this rent would consume 415% of the median local household income ($84k/yr) (locally 1273% 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 $12k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $54k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
- Salt Lake County population projected at +37% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.
- At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 1.6% rent growth), your $504k cash investment doubles in ~5 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
Negotiation context
- It's been on market 104 days — a 9% lower offer ($1.64M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Risks & watch-outs
- Watch-outs: built in 1905 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
- Climate carrying-cost: major wildfire risk — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Questions for the listing agent
- It's been on market 104 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 9% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
- 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?
- Built in 1905 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
- Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
- Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
- Crime grade is F 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?
- 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 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.
