Property Description:
This 2-bed, 1.5-bath, 979 sf block home (with a 1-car garage) sits on a 4,623 sf lot in Lake Sherwood Hills, built in 1979. The property is tenant-occupied at $1,675/mo with a lease ending March 31st, providing immediate income should you choose to keep the occupant. Although, the tenant is cooperative and willing to relocate for $5K – buyer is responsible. Major systems are older but functional (Roof 2010, HVAC 2009). The real value play is converting the garage to create a 3/2 layout, boosting livable area to approximately 1,311 sf.

📈 ARV Analysis
Using the 3/2 comps:
Average $/sf of 3/2 comps: ($286 + $284 + $306) / 3 = $292/sf
Estimated ARV with 1,311 sf finished≈ $300,000 – $320,000 +/-
This is only achievable if the conversion is fully permitted, creates a functional 3/2 layout, and the finish level is consistent with top comps.
