Property Description

1718 Normal Ave, Baltimore, MD 21213

32% of ARV — Same-Street Comp Under Contract at $220K

This is a row home with 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a pass-through bonus room, priced at $55,900 against a $175,000 ARV.

But here is what makes this deal worth a harder look.

A direct comp at 1645 Normal Ave — same street, also a 2-bedroom — is currently under contract at $220,000. If you know the 21213 well enough to execute at that level, you are looking at an additional $40,000-$50,000 in equity beyond the listed ARV. That kind of upside does not show up in the formula. It shows up in local knowledge.

At the conservative $175K ARV, the deal already works for a flip, a BRRRR, or a rental hold at $1,400/mo. At $220K, the math changes entirely.

The layout includes a pass-through room beyond the second bedroom that adds real living space — not a legal bedroom, but a functional den, office, or flex room that makes the home live bigger than the bedroom count suggests.

WHY THIS DEAL MAKES SENSE

• 32% of ARV at the conservative number. Entry at $55,900 against a $175,000 ARV. The spread is wide enough for a full renovation and a real return — on any exit strategy.
• Same-street comp under contract at $220K. 1645 Normal Ave — also a 2-bedroom — is pending at $220,000. That is not a projection. It is a live transaction on the same block. An investor who knows this pocket and can execute to that standard is looking at $40K-$50K of additional equity beyond the listed ARV.
• $1,400/mo rent potential. Rehabbed properties in this pocket rent for $1,400. The entry price makes the hold math work whether you BRRRR and pull capital back out or hold unlevered for cash flow.
• Pass-through bonus room adds real living space. Not a legal bedroom, but a functional room that gives a tenant or buyer a den, office, or flex space. The home lives bigger than the bedroom count suggests — that matters for tenant quality, retention, and rental demand.
• Three exits, one entry price. Flip it at $175K+ and take the spread. BRRRR it and refi at the appraised value. Or hold it at $1,400/mo and let the cash flow compound. The $55,900 entry supports all three.

YOU SHOULD KNOW

This property needs renovation throughout. The house is dated and everything needs to be addressed. Plan and budget accordingly.

The conservative ARV of $175,000 is supported by multiple comps in the area. The $220,000 comp at 1645 Normal is a same-street, same-bedroom-count transaction currently under contract — it represents what is possible for an investor who knows the 21213 and can deliver a finished product at that level. That upside is real, but it requires local expertise and execution.
