Richmond, California 94801
This Value-Add Residential Asset is listed at $429,000, positioned near its $392,301 Fair Market Value. Carrying a Condition Rating of 5, the 1904 cottage requires a comprehensive systems overhaul and structural renovation to address significant deferred maintenance. However, the property offers substantial upside through its ADU Potential and Strategic Commuter Location within the Iron Triangle, providing rapid access to BART and Kaiser Permanente. Despite low local school ratings, the additional structure and high rental demand make this an ideal acquisition for Fix-and-Flip Investors or Contractors seeking a high-yield project.
