Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
Despite being built in 1915, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready with several significant updates. The interior features newer laminate flooring, updated dual-pane windows, and modern light fixtures. The kitchen and bathrooms, while featuring older styles and basic white appliances, are clean and fully functional. The description notes recent roofing and system updates, and the home's ability to command high rent suggests it is in solid, functional condition without immediate need for major renovation.

- Immediate Cash Flow

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1400, other record living area = 1167. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
- Expired Development Permits

- Square Footage Discrepancy
A significant gap exists between the 1,400 sq. ft. on county records and the actual usable space, which may complicate appraisals and traditional financing.
