Marion St

Snag the least expensive 5-bed in Southglenn for $525K, drop $91K into a clean full-gut, and you’re all-in at roughly $616K on a corner lot that easily comps at $745K. Inventory under $600K here is almost nonexistent, so buyers chasing Littleton schools and walkability to Streets at SouthGlenn will line up the moment you re-list. At today’s rates that leaves about $129K of margin – or 29 percent below retail – before you even talk creative upside (BRRR, mid-term rental, or add an ADU in the oversized yard). Bottom line: low basis, strong exits, and a timing edge while every other flipper is still hunting for their next project.

Tri-level SFH in Southglenn on a 9,191 sq ft corner lot. The property offers 2,886 sq ft with the bones for a 5 bed 4 bath layout once finished. Interior is needs some TLC: smoke smell in one bathroom, dated kitchens and baths, + mostly finished basement (missing flooring and trim). Exterior needs window package, garage-door motor and partial paint. Roof is 7 years old, per the seller.

Why this Works

1. Entry Price Advantage:

You’re walking in at $525K in a neighborhood where even tired 4-beds scrape $700K. That’s 21% below retail after reno, giving you margin before the market even moves.

2. Simple, Straightforward Scope:

No structural, foundation, or major unknowns. You’re looking at a clean $91K full-gut: cosmetic, mechanical, and layout tweaks. Budget is tight, timelines predictable, and the bones are solid.

3. Strong End-Buyer Appeal:

You’re in Littleton Schools, on a corner lot, and walking distance to Streets at SouthGlenn – a top retail hub with Whole Foods, summer concerts, and walkability buyers want. Inventory under $600K is nearly extinct.

4. Multiple Exit Plays:

• Retail Flip – list it clean at $745K+ and move it fast

• BRRRR – ARV supports cash-out refi, low basis means strong equity left in

• Mid-Term Rental – 5 beds + walkability + schools = killer setup for furnished stays

• ADU Potential – oversized yard gives long-term add-on flexibility

5. Market Timing Advantage:

While other flippers are chasing overpriced junk, you’ve got a clean, off-market opportunity in a proven zip with fresh comps, high demand, and solid resale tailwinds.
