Listing remarks MLS

Available on the market for the first time in 40 years, this rare 10-unit portfolio in the heart of the Village of Solvay offers a unique blend of stability and upside for investors. Data in this description pertains to both 114 and 112 Freeman Avenue combined. Consisting of three structures: a 7-unit apartment building, a 2-family multi, and a single-family colonial—all contiguous and sharing off-street parking. Each of the 10 units has separate utilities and a varied mix of sizes (1 one-bedroom, six two-bedroom, two three-bedroom, and one four-bedroom stand-alone home), giving you multiple leasing and marketing strategies. Current rents are below market value, translating into a potential 13% pro forma cap rate—an exceptional value-add play. Located in a tight-knit, lakeside community just minutes from downtown Syracuse, Solvay boasts scenic outdoor amenities, small-town conveniences and attractions, and the benefit of locally controlled, low-cost utilities via municipality-owned Solvay Electric. With strong fundamentals, thoughtful upkeep, and long-term appreciation potential, this property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a performing asset with plenty of room to grow. The hands-on owner of this well-maintained package has 55 years of experience owning and managing over 100 units. He has decided to move on to new projects, presenting an excellent opportunity for the new owner.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

• This is a 10-bed/?-bath multifamily listed at $1.50M.

Deal economics

• At list price, monthly cash flow is $3k ($37k/yr) — positive.
• The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
• Meets the 1% rule at list price ($16k rent vs $1.50M).
• Recommended offer: $1.46M (3.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.

Location & tenants

• Location reads 72/100 on livability (#350 in NY) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: housing A+, health & safety A+, cost of living A; Watch: employment D+, crime D, amenities F.
• Solvay Union Free School District (suburban): math 31% / reading 42% proficiency, ranked #550 of 590 in NY (top 93%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
• Market conditions: 59 active listings in the ZIP; 616 units permitted in Onondaga County in 2024 (256 in 5+ unit buildings).
• At $16,048/mo this rent would consume 283% of the median local household income ($68k/yr) (locally 210% 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 $10k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $45k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
• Onondaga County population projected to shrink 9% by 2050 — rents likely to lag national; underwrite the cash flow, not the appreciation.

Negotiation context

• It's been on market 41 days — a 3% lower offer ($1.46M) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
• 3 sale attempts; this cycle's ask is 3% above the opening price — seller raised mid-cycle; expect resistance to lowballs.

Risks & watch-outs

• Watch-outs: built in 1910 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.

Recommended offer $1,455,000 (3.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

1. It's been on market 41 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 3% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
2. Built in 1910 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
3. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
4. 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?
5. Crime grade is D 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?
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
