Investor read
This is a 3-bed/2.0-bath other listed at $88k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $272 ($3k/yr) — positive.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($1k rent vs $88k).
It's been on market 40 days — a 3% lower offer ($85k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $85k (3.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
In year one you build about $9k of equity ($608 loan paydown + $9k appreciation (10.0% local appreciation)).
Location reads 70/100 on livability (#456 in OH) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+, employment A; Watch: crime C-, health & safety D, amenities F.
Warren Local (rural): math 57% / reading 67% proficiency, ranked #253 of 656 in OH (top 39%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
Zoned schools: Warren Elementary School (math 69% / reading 65%, grade B+, #456 of 1,584 statewide, top 31%, 781 students, 37% FRL); Warren Middle School (math 56% / reading 69%, grade B+, #238 of 654 statewide, top 37%, 651 students, 35% FRL); Warren High School (math 37% / reading 67%, grade D+, #343 of 781 statewide, top 47%, 577 students, 33% FRL) — zoned schools at 35% FRL track the district average.
Market conditions: 17 active listings in the ZIP; solid renter incomes; 3 units permitted in Washington County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
Washington County population projected at -12% by 2050 — secular population decline; favor cash flow + early exit over multi-decade hold.
2 sale attempts since 15y 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 $22k; list at $88k implies a 309% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
At projected returns (10.0% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $25k cash investment doubles in ~2 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
By year 4, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$33k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
This rent is only 15% of the median local income ($80k/yr) — well below the 30% rent-burden line; pricing power to push rent on renewal without tenant pushback.
Questions for listing agent
It's been on market 40 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 3% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
Schools are B-rated — typically a magnet for longer-tenancy family renters. What's the average tenant stay here, and is there a school-zone premium baked into asking?
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.
