Investor read
This is a 4-bed/2.0-bath single-family listed at $217k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $72 ($864/yr) — positive.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $201k (7.4% below list).
It's been on market 90 days — a 6% lower offer ($204k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $201k (7.4% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $2k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $7k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
Location reads 76/100 on livability (#48 in KS, #3,368 nationally) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: crime A+, employment A+, cost of living A+; Watch: amenities F, commute F.
Rose Hill Public Schools (rural): math 26% / reading 33% proficiency, ranked #84 of 169 in KS (top 50%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover.
Zoned schools: Rose Hill Primary (457 students, 36% FRL); Rose Hill Middle (math 19% / reading 29%, grade F, #121 of 219 statewide, top 56%, 378 students, 38% FRL); Rose Hill High (math 8% / reading 17%, grade F, #278 of 327 statewide, top 86%, 567 students, 27% FRL).
Market conditions: 42 active listings in the ZIP; 1 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; high-income renter base; 235 units permitted in Butler County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
3 sale attempts since 24y ago; this cycle's ask has dropped $13k (6%) from the opening price — seller is motivated, your offer sets the floor, not the list.
Climate carrying-cost: major wildfire risk; extreme-heat days projected 7→18/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Questions for listing agent
It's been on market 90 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 7% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
Built in 1976 — 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.
Schools are D-rated, which usually means shorter tenancies and higher turnover. Who's the typical renter profile here, and what's been the actual vacancy rate?
The area grade is low — what's the realistic commute time and amenity access for the typical tenant pool here? Any planned neighborhood developments (good or bad) we should know about?
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.
