3BR / 1BA 1953 Block Home, HVAC and Panel Already Done

Polk County · Lakeland
Starting at $142,500

A 1953 block Lakeland 3/1 at $142,500 with a new HVAC, water heater and electrical panel already in.

About This Property

An 840 sq ft concrete block house in Lakeland with three bedrooms, one bath and no HOA. The expensive mechanicals are partly done: the HVAC, water heater and electrical panel are new.

What is left: a roof, a full rewire behind the new panel, kitchen cabinets, counters and appliances, flooring, paint and the bath. The seller puts the after-repair value at $220,000 and the flip rehab at $39,000. At our price, after that rehab, about $38,500 remains before closing and carrying costs. The photos show the house occupied and cluttered.

How It Works

Is this property on the MLS?

No. These are off-market opportunities shared privately with our buyer network before they ever hit the open market — so you avoid bidding wars and retail competition.

Can I walk the property before I offer?

Yes — walkthroughs are by appointment. Reach out and we'll coordinate access or share a walkthrough video where one is available.

What do I need to lock it up?

A signed agreement, proof of funds, and an earnest-money deposit. Cash or hard-money / private financing moves fastest.

Do you have comps and a full numbers breakdown?

ARV and rehab figures on most listings come from the seller, and we label them that way rather than presenting them as our own analysis. Ask, and we will pull county sold comps and underwrite the deal with you before you make an offer. On some listings that work is already done.

How quickly can we close?

As fast as title allows. Quick, clean closings are preferred and often part of securing the best price.
