What the numbers mean for investors

A balanced market

A 4.9% gross rent yield (median rent $1,441, median value $350,900) means both strategies can work: flips with a clear resale comp set, or rentals bought below median with modest leverage.

Aging systems

The median home was built in 1969. Roofs, HVAC, windows and original plumbing are common line items, and homes built before 1978 fall under EPA lead-safe renovation rules — price that into your scope before you offer.

A mixed tenure market

43% of occupied homes are rented — enough rental demand to support holds, with a solid owner-occupant buyer pool for flips.

Tight supply

Only about 5% of housing units are vacant. Low vacancy supports rents and resale speed — and means good deals move fast, so a quick close matters.

A typical Concord flip, by the numbers

To show how a hard money loan works in this market, here is an illustration built on Concord’s median values — not a quote. Assume you buy a distressed home at 75% of the median value, budget 20% of value for a renovation sized to the local housing age, and resell at the median.

Purchase price$263,175
Rehab budget$70,180
After-repair value$350,900
Loan (90% of purchase + 100% of rehab, max 75% of ARV)$263,175
Your cash in, before fees$70,180
Gross spread before financing and selling costs$17,545

A gross spread of 5% of ARV is thin once interest, points, holding and selling costs (often 10–15% of ARV combined) come out — in Concord the deal has to be bought well below this illustration. Run your own numbers in the fix & flip calculator.

Rentals and DSCR in Concord

At the median value, a 75% loan ($263,175) at 7.5% over 30 years costs about $1,840 a month in principal and interest. Median rent of $1,441 covers that 0.78 times before property taxes, insurance and any HOA — which lower the ratio further. Rent doesn’t cover the payment at this leverage, so rentals need a larger down payment or a below-median purchase price to qualify. Check a specific property with the DSCR calculator.
