Investor read
This is a 2-bed/?-bath single-family listed at $70k. Condition is rated poor.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $199 ($2k/yr) — positive.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($864 rent vs $70k).
Only 8 days on market — expect competitive offers; lowballing is unlikely to land.
In year one you build about $5k of equity ($483 loan paydown + $4k appreciation (6.2% local appreciation)).
Location reads: area grade B — affects rentability + tenant quality, not the cash-flow math above.
Mid Peninsula School District (rural): math 10% / reading 25% proficiency, ranked #653 of 760 in MI (top 86%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover.
Market conditions: 11 active listings in the ZIP; 91 units permitted in Marquette County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
Marquette County population projected to shrink 3% by 2050 — rents likely to lag national; underwrite the cash flow, not the appreciation.
2 sale attempts 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.
At projected returns (6.2% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $20k cash investment doubles in ~3 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
By year 7, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$32k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Questions for listing agent
Have any recent inspections been done? Can we get a copy of the seller's disclosures and any deferred-maintenance estimates?
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.
