Simi Valley, California 93063
This Value-Add Condominium represents a strategic acquisition for those targeting forced appreciation in Simi Valley. Listed at $439,900, the property currently sits above its $361,051 Fair Market Value, requiring a focused approach to future equity through renovation. With a Condition Rating of 5, the interior necessitates a major rehab to modernize the 1980s finishes and dated cabinetry. However, the 1,114 sqft split-level floor plan, private fenced patio, and Sycamore Terrace community amenities provide a solid foundation for ROI. This project is ideal for Fix-and-Flip Investors or Contractors prepared to modernize the space and manage the $858 association fee within the Simi Valley Unified district.
