Market Analysis: 73628 Cheyenne

The 73628 ZIP in Cheyenne, OK is a local-operator market. Outside capital chasing a $139K entry has to pair deep knowledge with the discount.

Rent of $900/mo on a $139K basis reads well until vacancy, delinquency, and capex enter the model. The honest cap rate in 73628 sits below the stated 0.0% once reality is priced in.

Put differently, 73628 offers a low basis, the region around Cheyenne has moved on in ways that the ZIP itself has not fully absorbed. The result is a discount with genuine reasons.

Put differently, 1,625 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.

Strategy in 73628 is an operator game, not a passive one. Turning to rents, entry prices of $139K are inviting, the management lift is real and non-optional.

Negative Leverage — IRR / Tax Play Cap Rate: 5.1%  |  30yr Rate: 6.8%
Leverage reduces cash returns at current rates.

The current 30-yr mortgage rate (6.8%) exceeds the estimated cap rate (5.1%). 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.

We evaluate schools based on factors that research shows actually impact educational outcomes:

  • 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.
