The comparable sales provide excellent support, with two nearly identical homes on Palo Verde selling for $158K and $159K just a short walk from the subject. Updated properties throughout the community are achieving prices in the mid-$150Ks to mid-$160Ks, while even clean, largely original homes have sold in the $140Ks.

With the subject's already-updated kitchen, attractive exterior, desirable backyard setting, and selective improvements to the bathrooms, flooring, roof, and systems, we're targeting a $150K–$160K resale after renovation, with $155K as a reasonable underwriting target.

The Opportunity: A land-owned manufactured home in a highly desirable 55+ community with excellent nearby comparables and much of the cosmetic work already completed. Address the necessary roof, plumbing, and flooring repairs, complete the remaining updates, and bring it back to market as an attractive move-in-ready property.
