WHY INVESTORS SHOULD TAKE A LOOK
Major systems already in place. The November 12, 2026 inspection reported the roof covering, foundation, crawlspace, heating, and cooling equipment in great condition.
2019 HVAC equipment. Goodman heating and central air-conditioning equipment manufactured in 2019, reducing the immediate need for major mechanical replacement based on the available inspection.
Metal roof. Roof covering was rated in great condition, although weather prevented complete roof access.
Solid structural observations. Block foundation and crawlspace were rated in great condition, with a vapor barrier observed.
Two bathrooms. A desirable configuration for both resale buyers and prospective tenants.
Manageable cosmetic value-add. The proposed renovation focuses on updating finishes, refreshing the kitchen and bathrooms, improving flooring and paint, and addressing minor repairs rather than a complete gut renovation.

EXIT STRATEGY #1 — FIX & FLIP
Projected resale price $170,000
Investor purchase−$105,000
Estimated rehabilitation−$20,000
Resale expenses (10%)−$17,000
Holding / financing allowance−$8,000
PROJECTED INVESTOR PROFIT $20,000
Approximately $20,000 projected profit at the working ARV, before income taxes and any costs not included in the assumptions.
This scenario assumes a completed resale at $170,000, renovation within budget, and the stated transaction expenses.
EXIT STRATEGY #2 — BUY & HOLD
With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, central HVAC, and an established residential location, the property also warrants consideration as a long-term rental.
Potential landlord advantages include:
Existing heating and cooling systems
No major foundation repairs identified in the inspection
Opportunity for a lighter, rental-focused renovation
Three-bedroom configuration appealing to a broad tenant pool
Rental income, operating expenses, and financing terms should be independently verified before relying on a cash-flow or BRRRR strategy.
