This 2-bed, 1-bath home in Fordland, MO, with 920 sqft, is positioned in a market where average rents range from $795 to $1,070 monthly. Using comps and local averages, total potential annual revenue is $9.5K–$12.8K. With a list price of $89.9K, the estimated payback period is roughly 7–9 years at 100% occupancy. The Fordland rental market is currently hot, though rents have recently declined. The property has central HVAC, a metal roof, and a storage shed, but is older (1940 build). It’s move-in ready but lacks modern upgrades, which could limit rent at the high end of the range.

To maximize rent, invest in cosmetic upgrades—modernize the kitchen, refresh flooring, and add curb appeal. Highlight the central location, energy-efficient features, and storage. If selling, consider minor renovations for a stronger ROI and market the property’s low maintenance costs and rental demand. Priced under $100K, it’s attractive to investors seeking cash flow in a stable, affordable market.
