Investor read

• This is a 2-bed/1.0-bath other listed at $68k.
• At list price, monthly cash flow is $370 ($4k/yr) — positive.
• The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
• Meets the 1% rule at list price ($1k rent vs $68k).
• It's been on market 29 days — a 2% lower offer ($67k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
• Recommended offer: $67k (1.5% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
• Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $470 of loan paydown is wiped out by about $2k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
• Location reads: area grade B — affects rentability + tenant quality, not the cash-flow math above.
• New Lisbon School District (rural): math 13% / reading 21% proficiency, ranked #334 of 342 in WI (top 98%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover.
• Zoned schools: New Lisbon Elementary (math 17% / reading 22%, grade F, #864 of 1,041 statewide, top 85%, 334 students, 55% FRL); New Lisbon Junior High/High (math 8% / reading 17%, grade F, #435 of 483 statewide, top 90%, 248 students, 45% FRL).
• Market conditions: 61 active listings in the ZIP; 154 units permitted in Juneau County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
• Juneau County population projected at -19% by 2050 — secular population decline; favor cash flow + early exit over multi-decade hold.
• At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $19k cash investment doubles in ~6 years — after that, you're playing with house money.

Questions for listing agent

• Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
• 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 for-sale + rental construction is in the pipeline within 1–3 miles? Heavy new supply typically softens prices + rents 12–24 months out; constrained supply supports both.
