Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1960, this property is explicitly marketed as an 'Investor Special' needing 'TLC' and a 'value-add investment,' which aligns with a poor condition rating. The kitchen features extremely outdated 1960s-style wood cabinets, yellow tiled countertops, an old electric coil stovetop, and pink paint, all requiring a full renovation. The bathroom also shows significant age with a dated green tiled vanity and older flooring. The exterior appears neglected, and one of the outbuildings is dilapidated. Overall, the property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern living standards, with major components likely needing replacement or extensive renovation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Large Lot Size: Situated on over an acre (75,300 sqft) of land, this property offers significant room for expansion, development, or storage, enhancing its long-term value.
Investment Potential: Explicitly marketed as an 'Investor Special' and 'value-add investment,' it presents a strong opportunity for capital appreciation through renovation and strategic development.
Strategic Location for Growth: Located near the highly anticipated BNSF railway project, the property is positioned in a prime area with strong potential for future value appreciation due to anticipated economic growth.
Excellent Accessibility: The property boasts easy access to major highways, shopping, and services, making it both convenient for residents and attractive for future tenants or buyers.
Attractive Price Point: Multiple price reductions from the original list price of $275,000 to $217,500 indicate a potentially motivated seller and a more competitive entry price for investors.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: The existing structure 'needs TLC,' implying significant capital investment and effort will be required for renovation to bring it to modern standards or maximize its rental/resale value.
Age of Property: Built in 1960, the property is over 60 years old, suggesting potential for outdated systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and finishes that will likely require comprehensive upgrades.
Potential Holding Costs: Given the need for extensive renovation, investors should anticipate potential holding costs (mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities) during the period the property is not generating income.
