Investor read
This is a 1×2bd/1ba + 1×1bd/1ba units multifamily listed at $146k. Condition is rated fair.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $278 ($3k/yr) — positive. Per door: $139/mo.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($2k rent vs $146k).
It's been on market 68 days — a 6% lower offer ($137k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $137k (6.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
In year one you build about $8k of equity ($1k loan paydown + $7k appreciation (4.7% local appreciation)).
Location reads 66/100 on livability (#623 in NY) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, health & safety A, crime A-; Watch: amenities F, commute F, employment D-.
Northeastern Clinton Central School District (rural): math 63% / reading 63% proficiency, ranked #203 of 590 in NY (top 34%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
Zoned schools: Northeastern Clinton Middle School (math 32% / reading 52%, grade D-, #379 of 729 statewide, top 54%, 277 students, 50% FRL).
Zoned-school proficiency averages 42% at this address vs 63% district-wide (-21 pts) — the specific schools serving this property underperform the Northeastern Clinton Central School District average; the district grade overstates school quality for this exact location.
Watch-outs: built in 1876 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Market conditions: 33 active listings in the ZIP; solid renter incomes; 192 units permitted in Clinton County in 2024 (64 in 5+ unit buildings).
Clinton County population projected at -16% by 2050 — secular population decline; favor cash flow + early exit over multi-decade hold.
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.
Current owner paid $12k; list at $146k implies a 1117% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.
At projected returns (4.7% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $41k cash investment doubles in ~4 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
By year 5, paydown + projected appreciation supports a ~$34k cash-out refi (75% LTV) — recoverable capital for the next deal without selling this one.
Questions for listing agent
It's been on market 68 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 6% 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?
Have any recent inspections been done? Can we get a copy of the seller's disclosures and any deferred-maintenance estimates?
Built in 1876 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
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.
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.
