THE DEAL IN ONE SENTENCE

MOST HOUSES AT 47% OF ARV NEED EVERYTHING. THIS ONE NEEDS A KITCHEN.

New roof. New flooring. New appliances. Fresh paint. Three-year-old boiler.

Someone already put $25,000 into this house in the last six months — and stopped before the kitchen.

$114,900 buy it now against a $245,000 ARV. Vacant, lockbox, walk it today.

That's the whole deal.

THE INVESTOR CASE

$114,900 PURCHASE

$245,000 PROJECTED ARV

$130,100 GROSS VALUE SPREAD

That's approximately 46.9% of ARV at the asking price.

Your job is to determine whether the spread survives your actual:

Renovation + financing + holding + closing + selling costs.

We've provided the property details and comps.

You provide the underwriting.

WHAT'S ALREADY DONE

Approximately $25,000 of improvements have been completed within the past six months:

  • New roof
  • New appliances
  • New washer + dryer
  • New flooring
  • Updated bathroom vanity
  • Fresh paint throughout
  • New interior + exterior lighting
  • New ceiling fans
  • New shutters

OTHER RECENT UPDATES

  • Boiler replaced approximately 3 years ago
  • Windows replaced approximately 7–8 years ago

The goal here isn't to sell you on a "fully renovated" house.

It's to give you a house where a significant amount of the basic improvement work is already behind you.

WHAT'S LEFT

KITCHEN

The appliances are already new.

The cabinets, countertops and finishes remain.

This is the biggest obvious renovation opportunity.

COOLING

The property has baseboard hot-water heat with a boiler approximately three years old.

There is currently no central AC. Wall/window units are being used.

Determine what cooling solution makes sense for your exit strategy.

COSMETICS + CURB APPEAL

Expect some combination of:

  • Kitchen renovation
  • Cosmetic finishing
  • Landscaping
  • Exterior cleanup/presentation
  • Final punch-list items
  • Contractor-identified repairs

DON'T USE OUR SCOPE AS YOUR SCOPE.

Walk the property. Bring your contractor. Price it yourself.

Lockbox access is available.

THE HOUSE

3 BEDROOMS. 2 FULL BATHS. 1,066 SF.

The 2-full-bath configuration is a strong feature for a 1,066 SF bungalow.

The property also includes:

  • Detached carport
  • 3 off-street parking spaces
  • Storage shed
  • Brick fireplace
  • Enclosed front porch
  • Public water + sewer
  • Vacant occupancy

It's a straightforward single-family product that can work as either a retail flip or rental.

FIX & FLIP

The potential value-add is straightforward:

BUY → IMPROVE → RETAIL EXIT

The major recent improvements are already completed.

Your value-add is primarily in the kitchen, cosmetics, curb appeal and overall presentation.

At a projected $245K ARV, the acquisition price gives you substantial room to determine whether the deal meets your required margin after the full project budget is accounted for.

COMPS & MARKET DATA:

[LINK]

Run the comps yourself. We want you comfortable with the ARV before you make an offer.

BUY & HOLD

For a rental investor, the property offers:

3BR + 2BA + detached house + off-street parking + vacant possession

No tenant relocation.

No occupied rehab.

No inherited lease.

You can renovate to your rental standard, stabilize the property and evaluate the long-term cash flow based on your own rent assumptions.

THE MARKET HISTORY — WE'RE NOT HIDING IT

This property has been marketed previously and did not sell at retail.

  • Previously listed at $199,900 — expired
  • Reduced to $164,999 — withdrawn
  • Approximately 289 cumulative days on market

You will find that history during your due diligence.

We're including it here because transparency matters more than making the deal look perfect.

The previous marketing was aimed at retail buyers.

We're presenting it to investors based on what it actually is:

A $114,900 acquisition with a defined renovation scope and a projected $245K retail value.

Pull the comps. Walk the house. Run your numbers.

If the deal works, make your offer.

THE SECOND PARCEL

The purchase also includes 811 Truman St, an adjacent parcel on a separate deed.

IT'S SIMPLY ADDITIONAL YARD.

We're not presenting it as a development opportunity or assigning speculative value to it.

The practical benefit is additional yard space for the property.

Verify zoning and any potential future use independently with the City of Cambridge.
