Market Analysis: 38058 Munford

This part of Tipton County is not an easy win. The 38058 ZIP reflects softness in key indicators, and the playbook that works in cleaner markets often stalls here.

Rent of $1,200/mo on a $289K basis reads well until vacancy, delinquency, and capex enter the model. The honest cap rate in 38058 sits below the stated 0.0% once reality is priced in.

Regionally, 38058 sits on the difficult end of the TN spectrum. The worth a close look for read — for disciplined operators — is that pricing reflects the difficulty.

From an investor standpoint, 10,900 residents fill the ZIP, renter turnover runs higher than neighboring postal codes and delinquency risk is a real line item rather than a theoretical one.

The right play in 38058 usually involves deep tenant screening, aggressive delinquency response, and a conservative capex buffer. Anything less, and the discount can turn into a trap.

Leverage reduces cash returns at current rates.

The current 30-yr mortgage rate (6.8%) exceeds the estimated cap rate (3.2%). Financing reduces your cash-on-cash return below the cap rate. Markets like this may still make sense as IRR plays — factoring in appreciation, depreciation, and a future refinance when rates drop.

  • Class Size — Smaller classes mean more individual attention
  • School Funding — Resources available for programs, staff, and facilities
  • Community Factors — Neighborhood characteristics that influence student success
  • School Environment — Size, type, and structure

Scores are updated annually using federal education data.
