Investor read
This is a 14 × 1-bed/1-bath units multifamily listed at $4.10M.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $-219 ($-3k/yr) — negative. Per door: $-16/mo.
To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $4.06M (0.9% below list).
To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $3.30M (19.5% below list).
It's been on market 86 days — a 6% lower offer ($3.85M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $3.30M (19.5% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
In year one you build about $438k of equity ($28k loan paydown + $410k appreciation (10.0% local appreciation)).
Location reads 82/100 on livability (#48 in NJ, #1,217 nationally) — a professional / high-income tenant draw. Strengths: crime A+, amenities A+, commute A+; Watch: cost of living F.
Palisades Park School District (suburban): math 18% / reading 37% proficiency, ranked #360 of 472 in NJ (top 76%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover.
Market conditions: 38 active listings in the ZIP; 40 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals at typical pace (median 26d on market — plan ~3-4 weeks tenant-placement turnaround); solid renter incomes; 3,488 units permitted in Bergen County in 2024 (1,610 in 5+ unit buildings).
Bergen County population projected at +20% by 2050 — long-run rental-demand tailwind backs the buy-and-hold thesis.
Current owner paid $1.15M; list at $4.10M implies a 257% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
By year 2, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$705k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Climate carrying-cost: major wind risk, 27% chance of damaging wind over 30y; extreme-heat days projected 7→15/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
At $32,988/mo this rent would consume 418% of the median local household income ($95k/yr) (locally 1235% of renters already pay >50% of income on rent) — very limited rent-growth headroom before tenants either downsize or default.
Questions for listing agent
What do current leases actually rent for vs. the listed asking? Can we see a recent rent roll and the last 12 months of T-12 income?
It's been on market 86 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 20% 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?
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.
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.
