Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1949 and marketed as a 'handy man special,' this property requires significant rehab. The interior shows heavily damaged hardwood floors, dated wood paneling, and popcorn ceilings. The presence of a portable AC unit suggests the absence of modern HVAC systems, and the 'as-is' status confirms the need for major updates to systems and finishes to meet modern standards.

- High Available Lot Utilization
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7948, living area = 1640.
- Investment Potential

- Historic District Incentives
Located in a historic community near downtown Escondido, the property may be eligible for significant property tax reductions, enhancing its long-term financial appeal.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- As-Is Condition
The property is sold in as-is condition and requires immediate investment in flooring, paint, and general repairs to be move-in ready.
- Configuration Discrepancy
While recorded as a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, it is currently configured as a 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath, which may require permitting or construction to rectify.
