1960 Build — Major Rehab Budget RequiredMLS scanner estimates $172,900 rehab ($70/sqft). Expect dated systems — electrical, plumbing, HVAC. Inspect before offering.
Flip Margins Thin at Market PriceAt $685K ARV, acquisition must be under $530K to clear meaningful profit after $172K rehab + carry costs.
60-Day DOM — Negotiate HardSlower market means seller has less leverage. Don't pay list. Aim 8–12% below asking.
UCR Proximity — Rental UpsideUC Riverside nearby creates consistent student/staff rental demand. Strong hold play if margins are tight on flip.
Bottom Line
Viable deal — but margins are tighter than the as-is Redfin estimate suggests. The real ARV post-rehab is ~$685K, with $172K in rehab baked in. Must acquire under $530K for a flip to work. Better as a hold or house-hack given the 6-bed footprint and UCR proximity. Don't pay anything near Redfin's $718K as-is value.
