Key pros and cons
Top Pros:
Investment Potential: Explicitly marketed as a 'great investment opportunity,' supported by recent sales history showing significant appreciation from $72,000 in 2018 to $225,000 in 2023.
Top Cons:
Advanced Age of Property: Built in 1940, the property is over 80 years old, which often implies potential for outdated infrastructure, systems (plumbing, electrical), and a higher likelihood of requiring significant maintenance or renovation.

More Insights
Built in 1940 (86 years old).
Condition: Built in 1940, this property is 84 years old and shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance. The kitchen features extremely outdated cabinetry, laminate countertops, and very old appliances, requiring a full renovation. The bathroom is similarly dated with an old vanity, sink, and fixtures. Flooring throughout appears worn (old carpet, linoleum), and the property lacks modern amenities like central air conditioning, relying on visible window units. The exterior is unkempt with an aged roof and general clutter. The overall condition suggests substantial repairs and rehabilitation are needed to bring it to a comfortable and functional standard, aligning with the 'poor' classification.

Pros & Cons

Investment Potential: Explicitly marketed as a 'great investment opportunity,' supported by recent sales history showing significant appreciation from $72,000 in 2018 to $225,000 in 2023.
Affordable Price Point: Listed at $270,000, this single-family residence offers an accessible entry point for first-time homebuyers or investors in the Bakersfield market.
No Homeowners Association (HOA) Fees: The absence of HOA fees significantly reduces monthly ownership costs, enhancing affordability and overall appeal for buyers.
Standard Functional Layout: The property features a practical layout with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, and a kitchen, suitable for small families or individuals.
Desirable Property Type: As a Single Family Residence (SFR), the property generally holds broader market appeal and better long-term value compared to other property types.
Cons
Advanced Age of Property: Built in 1940, the property is over 80 years old, which often implies potential for outdated infrastructure, systems (plumbing, electrical), and a higher likelihood of requiring significant maintenance or renovation.
Limited Bedroom Count: With only 2 bedrooms, the property may not cater to larger families or those requiring additional space, potentially limiting its market appeal and buyer pool.
Lack of Detailed Description: The listing description is very brief and lacks specific details about recent upgrades, condition of major systems, or unique features, which could indicate a need for significant updates or a lack of standout amenities.
