Market Analysis: 74959 Spiro

This part of Le Flore is not an easy win. The 74959 ZIP registers softness in key indicators, and the playbook that works in cleaner markets often stalls here.

If the plan assumes clean turnover, on-time rent, and low maintenance on a $152K asset, 74959 is the wrong submarket. If the plan prices in friction, the yield can still work.

Within OK, ZIP 74959 trails on several market indicators that neighboring Le Flore submarkets outperform. The gap is real and substantial enough to shape underwriting.

The demographic picture in 74959 includes headwinds that any investor should price in. Income distribution skews lower than Spiro averages, and tenant stability requires active management.

The right play in 74959 usually involves deep tenant screening, aggressive delinquency response, and a conservative capex buffer. Anything less, and the discount can turn into a trap.

Negative Leverage — IRR / Tax Play Cap Rate: 4.7%  |  30yr Rate: 6.8%
Leverage reduces cash returns at current rates.

The current 30-yr mortgage rate (6.8%) exceeds the estimated cap rate (4.7%). 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.
