Property Overview
Brick Ranch Montbello Flip Opportunity – Quick Close + Low Inventory!
4 Bed | 3 Bath | 2,776 Sq Ft | 2-Car Garage
With only 1.4 months of inventory in the area, buyers are circling fast – and once this place is cleaned up, it’ll be first in line!
Solid brick ranch with great bones, a 2-car attached garage, and a unique arched entryway that’s currently hiding behind a jungle of landscaping. Once cleared, it’s going to pop with curb appeal!
Inside, the main floor features high vaulted ceilings in the living room, a leftover detail from when the property was used as a community church. The main level also includes the kitchen, three bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. The kitchen is outdated, with original wood cabinets and older finishes. A full renovation is needed for cabinets, counters, and appliances. Flooring will need replacement throughout. One bedroom has already had the subfloor redone, but the rest of the house may have subfloor concerns due to heavy cat odor and dander. That’s something already factored into the renovation scope. The basement includes additional living space, with a fourth bedroom and another full bath. Between upstairs and down, there’s flexibility in how the space is used. Additional work includes new windows, landscaping, new A/C, drywall repair, paint, flooring, and full updates to the bathrooms and kitchen.
This is a full reno project with a straightforward layout and solid structure in a low-inventory neighborhood. Closing is set for May 15th, so get your crew ready to jump in.
🧰 Scope of Work
This one needs the full HGTV treatment:

Video Walkthrough
This property requires a full interior and exterior renovation. We estimate the fix budget at about $97k. Inside, the kitchen and all three bathrooms need complete updates, including new cabinets, counters, appliances, fixtures, and tile. Flooring must be replaced throughout, with subfloor repairs needed in most areas due to cat odor and dander. The property also needs drywall repair from a past leak, full interior painting, and installation of new windows and entry doors. A new A/C unit is required. Outside, overgrown landscaping must be cleared to reveal the arched entryway and improve curb appeal. The home has a solid structure and a simple layout, making it a full-gut but straightforward project. Per the seller, the roof is 3 years old.

Sold for $480k on 12/02/24 | 3 Bed, 2 Bath, 1846 Sq Ft
This comp has the same layout and exterior as the subject property, making it a solid point of comparison, but there are a few key differences that set our subject apart as a stronger investment. The comp offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, while our subject, once completed, will feature 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms thanks to a fully finished basement. While the comp has been nicely renovated with a new roof, gutters, kitchen, floors, and bathrooms, it lacks that finished lower level—meaning it offers the same square footage upstairs, but none of the additional 930 square feet that our subject will have. Given that this comp sold for $480,000 without the extra bed, bath, or basement space, we’ve conservatively estimated our subject’s ARV at $530,000, reflecting the meaningful increase in livable space and functionality.

Active for $550k since 5/3/25 | 5 Bed, 3 Bath, 2700 Sq Ft
This comp was purchased on December 4, 2024, for $390,000 and is now back on the market post-renovation for $550,000, making it a strong example of what a successful flip can look like in this neighborhood. Like our subject property, it has been fully renovated, which makes it a useful benchmark for projecting ARV. While it does have one more bedroom than our subject, the subject property is actually 776 square feet larger, which helps balance the value difference. With the same number of bathrooms and a comparable overall condition once finished, this comp gives us a clear picture of market potential. Given the price point and similarities, we feel confident using this as a basis for establishing a solid ARV for our property.

Sold for $493k on 3/14/2025 | 5 Bed, 2 Bath, 1732 Sq ft
This comp sold recently on March 14, 2025, for $493,000 and is a solid representation of what a fully flipped home in this area can achieve. It’s a brick ranch, just like the subject property, and has been updated throughout with modern finishes, new floors, a renovated kitchen and bathrooms, recessed lighting, and a freshly painted exterior. It also features a finished basement, similar to what our subject property will have after renovation. While this comp has one more bedroom, it’s also 1,041 square feet smaller than the subject, and has one fewer bathroom. Considering the quality of finishes and layout similarities, the $493K sale supports our projected ARV of $530,000 for the subject property, which offers significantly more square footage and an additional bathroom.
