Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

Built in 2004, this property is in move-in ready condition with significant modern updates. The interior features updated wide-plank flooring, a refreshed kitchen with butcher block countertops and subway tile backsplash, and bathrooms with contemporary vanities and fixtures. While the black appliances and 20-year-old structure prevent an 'excellent' rating, the home is exceptionally well-maintained with modern lighting and a turnkey aesthetic suitable for its current use as a short-term rental.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • 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 = 10200, living area = 1264.

  • Turnkey Investment Opportunity

    The property is offered fully furnished and is currently a successful short-term rental, allowing for an immediate revenue stream without additional setup costs.

  • Prime Location

    Situated in the highly desirable Friendly Hills area, the home offers stunning mountain views and is located just minutes from the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Limited Square Footage

    With only 1,264 square feet for a 3-bedroom configuration, the interior living spaces and guest rooms may feel compact for larger groups.

  • Mediocre School Ratings

    The assigned middle and high schools have lower performance ratings (3 and 4 respectively), which may deter long-term primary residents with school-aged children.

  • Market Price Volatility

    The property has experienced a notable decline in valuation since its peak in 2022, reflecting broader market sensitivities in the high-desert short-term rental sector.
