Market Analysis: 45347 New Paris

This part of Preble County is not an easy win. The 45347 ZIP shows softness in key indicators, and the playbook that works in cleaner markets often stalls here.

The investment case in 45347 is substantial only for operators who understand what they are buying. A $209K median suggests accessibility, but management intensity, vacancy drift, and capex surprises are real.

Statewide comparisons place 45347 among OH's softer markets. That context does not make the ZIP uninvestable, but it does raise the bar for due diligence.

On balance, 4,029 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.

New investors are better served looking at New Paris's stable or hybrid ZIPs before stepping into 45347. The learning curve here is expensive when the lesson is wrong.

Negative Leverage — IRR / Tax Play Cap Rate: 3.3%  |  30yr Rate: 6.8%
Leverage reduces cash returns at current rates.

The current 30-yr mortgage rate (6.8%) exceeds the estimated cap rate (3.3%). 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.

About Repit School Scores

Traditional school ratings rely heavily on standardized test scores, which often reflect family income more than school quality. Repit takes a different approach.

  • 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.
