* Subject property listed price vs sold prices of comps.
Property is extensive renovation needed.
The property is a short sale being sold as-is and is explicitly stated to need too much work for typical financing, indicating significant deferred maintenance. Built in 1977, it features outdated popcorn ceilings, heavily worn carpeting, and unpermitted conversions of the garage and patio. While some kitchen appliances are stainless steel, the overall interior condition, including the flooring and walls, requires substantial rehabilitation to meet modern standards.
Priced competitively at $250,000, this property presents a significant opportunity for investors or flippers to build equity through a comprehensive renovation in the Phoenix market.
The property includes a converted garage and enclosed patio that offer substantial extra space beyond the official 1,246 square feet, providing a foundation for expanded living areas.
The absence of a homeowners association allows for greater flexibility in property management and eliminates monthly association fees, increasing long-term affordability.
The home's current condition makes it ineligible for traditional financing, restricting the buyer pool primarily to cash investors or those with specialized renovation loans.
Both the garage and patio conversions were completed without permits, posing potential legal risks and requiring additional investment to bring the structures up to city code.
