San Jose Orlando Dr - OVERPRICED LIGHT FLIP WARNING
📍 Address: 1519 Orlando Dr, San Jose, CA 95122
💰 Price: $849,888
🏠 Property: 4BR/2BA, 1,440 SF
🏦 ARV: $1,080,000 | Profit: $63,930 | ROI: 63.8% (Requires Negotiation)
Why This is a Great Investment:
Move-in ready with granite counters and tile floors - but overpriced at $590/SF! While the property needs minimal work, the asking price leaves insufficient margin for error. This only works with significant price reduction and confidence in achieving $750/SF ARV.
The property has potential but requires aggressive negotiation to make the numbers work.
