THE PROPERTY

Get to know the property.

Welcome to this spacious and versatile Bakersfield property offering comfortable living, valuable updates, and excellent rental potential. The main residence features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with an abundance of living space, new fixtures, wood flooring, new windows, a new water heater, updated kitchen appliances and fixtures, and a split-system A/C throughout the home. The inviting living room features a fireplace, while the generous yard provides plenty of outdoor space for entertaining, recreation, or relaxation.

Off the kitchen is an unfinished basement area offering additional flexibility and potential. With the appropriate approvals, this space may provide an opportunity for additional living area, storage, or other uses. The property also includes a detached 2-car garage that has been meticulously converted into additional living space. This converted area was recently rented for approximately three years and offers a bedroom plus a large bonus room that was utilized as a bedroom, providing significant flexibility for extended living, rental, or guest accommodations.



The front unit is currently occupied by a reliable tenant paying $2,000 per month plus all utilities, with the owner currently responsible only for water. The rear unit is vacant and was most recently rented for $1,650 per month, offering an immediate opportunity for a new owner to establish rental income. The rear unit also features separate washer/dryer hookups and is separately gated from the main house for added privacy and convenience.



Additional features include an ADT alarm system, spacious interiors, ample parking, and multiple areas that provide flexibility for owner-occupancy, extended family, or rental use. With existing rental income and additional income potential, this property presents an excellent opportunity for investors or buyers seeking a property with versatility and upside.

Investor outlook.

Explore this property’s rental potential with an all-cash purchase. Monthly rent starts at 5% of the purchase price per year, divided by 12. Adjust it and the other assumptions to explore your scenario.

These are planning assumptions, not a rental appraisal or a loan quote. The starting rent is a price-based estimate; a local leasing professional can help confirm market rent.

Purchase price

Purchase price × 5% ÷ 12. Updates with purchase price until you enter a custom rent.

Annual insurance starts at purchase price × 0.25%, rounded to the nearest available amount. Updates with purchase price until you choose another amount.A planning estimate, not an insurance quote. Adjust it for your property and coverage.

Percentages are editable examples, not ERA fee quotes. Management is applied to rent after vacancy; maintenance and capital reserves use scheduled rent. Add owner-paid utilities, mortgage insurance and other recurring expenses under other costs.

How this scenario is calculated

Annual operating income is rent after vacancy, management, maintenance, taxes, insurance, HOA and other operating costs, before financing and capital reserves. Cap rate divides annual operating income by purchase price. Estimated monthly cash flow assumes an all-cash purchase: rent after vacancy, management, maintenance, taxes, insurance, HOA, other operating costs and capital reserves. No mortgage payment is deducted. The mortgage calculator is separate; loan payments would reduce cash flow for a financed purchase. One-time acquisition costs, renovations, income taxes, depreciation and appreciation are excluded.

Mortgage payment calculator

Explore financing separately. These loan settings do not change the all-cash investor outlook.

Mortgage assumptions

20% down and 7% interest are illustrative starting values.

Estimated monthly principal & interestLoan payment only. Excludes property taxes, homeowners/flood insurance, mortgage insurance and HOA dues.

About this payment estimate

Based on a fixed-rate, fully amortizing loan with monthly payments and the price, down payment, interest rate and term you select. The interest rate is an example, not a current rate offer or APR; APR includes certain loan costs. This is an illustration, not a Loan Estimate, approval, offer of credit or commitment to lend.

Your actual payment, rate and eligibility depend on your lender, credit, loan program and property. Closing costs, points, prepaid expenses and lender fees are not included. Taxes and insurance may change, and mortgage insurance may be required, particularly with a down payment below 20%. Ask your lender for a Loan Estimate and a complete monthly payment including applicable taxes, insurance and fees.

Dollar results are rounded to the nearest cent; calculations retain precision until display. A cash purchase has no loan payment but still has ownership costs. Understand your total home payment (CFPB).
