Investor read
This is a 2-bed/1.0-bath single-family listed at $100k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $-48 ($-578/yr) — negative.
To cash-flow at today's rent, offer at most $93k (7.0% below list).
To meet the 1% rule (rent ≥ 1% of price), the offer needs to be $81k (18.6% below list).
It's been on market 115 days — a 9% lower offer ($91k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
Recommended offer: $81k (18.6% below list) — sets the bar for 1% rule.
In year one you build about $5k of equity ($691 loan paydown + $4k appreciation (3.9% local appreciation)).
Location reads 58/100 on livability (#588 in MO) — a working-class tenant base; expect higher turnover. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+; Watch: health & safety C-, crime F, amenities F.
Greenville R-II (rural): math 34% / reading 37% proficiency, ranked #228 of 324 in MO (top 70%) — families likely to look elsewhere, expect single-tenant / working-renter base with shorter leases.
Zoned schools: Greenville Elem. (math 32% / reading 32%, grade F, #761 of 1,115 statewide, top 72%, 302 students, 64% FRL); Greenville Jr. High (math 42% / reading 42%, grade D-, #149 of 391 statewide, top 41%, 106 students, 64% FRL); Greenville High (math 34% / reading 54%, grade F, #179 of 521 statewide, top 39%, 214 students, 55% FRL) — zoned schools at 61% FRL track the district average.
Watch-outs: built in 1950 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
Market conditions: 17 active listings in the ZIP.
Wayne County population projected to shrink 9% 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 (3.9% appreciation + 3.0% rent growth), your $28k cash investment doubles in ~6 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
By year 8, 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
What do current leases actually rent for vs. the listed asking? Can we see a recent rent roll and the last 12 months of T-12 income?
It's been on market 115 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 19% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
Built in 1950 — 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?
Crime grade is F 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?
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?
