This week’s deals include a 5,100 sq ft custom REO at just $84/sq ft, a mountain lodge with $5,400 rent potential, a rural 3-bed flirting with the 1.5% rule, and a vintage bungalow with value hiding behind the roses.

From high-square-foot spreads to off-grid rentals and low-entry flips, this batch is all about oversized upside and under-the-radar pricing.

Free readers get the 3-bed with the 1.5% rent ratio. Paid members get all four.

Want cash flow without rehabbing?

Skip the sledgehammer — Arrived lets you buy fractional shares of rental homes and earn passive income starting at just $100.

Distressed Deals of The Week

🏗️ 5K+ Sq Ft Custom Build for $84/Sq Ft
This 4-bed, 4.5-bath home spans over 5,100 sq ft with a spiral staircase, dual garages (6+ cars), and massive loft — all for just $434K.

Finish the job and unlock serious flip or BRRR upside in a low-competition, high-margin segment where comps push $600K+.

🌲 Mountain Fixer with 1.25%+ Rent Ratio
This 3-bed, 3-bath cabin-style home has 4,300+ sq ft across two parcels and sits just off a paved road in a tree-lined retreat.

Multiple offers are already in — but with a $5,400 rent estimate and 2005 build, it’s a big box with even bigger upside for rural STR plays.

🔨 Budget-Friendly Fixer with 1.5% Cash Flow
This 3-bed, 2-bath REO comes in at 1,400 sq ft on a fenced lot and is priced under $160K — that’s just $114/sq ft.

Solid structure, rural setting, and $2,492 rent potential would make it a cash cow for BRRR investors or light flippers.

🌼 Vintage Bungalow with Rent-to-Value Power
This 3-bed, 2-bath 1930s bungalow offers 1,419 sq ft, a workshop, and fenced yard with mature landscaping — listed at just $173K.

It’s a fixer, but with a $2,250 rent Zestimate and strong layout, it’s perfect for yield-focused landlords or first-time rehabbers.


14733 Juniper St, Hesperia, CA 92345

🏚️ Foreclosed 4-bed, 4.5-bath custom build with 5,192 sq ft of space on nearly half an acre — listed at $434,000 or just $84/sq ft.

This 2010-built behemoth is unfinished but full of upside: spiral staircase, huge loft, balconies, and a 6-car garage (plus detached 2-car).

With a wide-open layout and oversized rooms throughout, it’s begging for a final cosmetic push. Located in a rural, investor-friendly patch of the High Desert, where large homes are rare but in demand.

💡 Pro Tip: With a Rent Zestimate of ~$4,136/mo, this one easily clears the 1% rule and has flip potential — finished comps with similar square footage often push $600K in Victor Valley.

💰 Financial Snapshot

  • Est. Market Value: $550K–$600K (post-finish, based on larger Hesperia comps)

  • Purchase Status: Non-Judicial Foreclosure

  • Current Ask: $434,000

  • Layout: 4 bed / 4.5 bath

  • Building Size: 5,192 sq ft

  • Lot Size: 0.41 acres

  • Year Built: 2010

  • Price per Sq Ft: $84

  • Rent Zestimate: ~$4,136/mo

  • Annual Taxes: $22,686

  • Assessed Value: $867,000

⚠️ Heads Up

  • No central A/C and unknown interior condition — assume HVAC install and final finish costs

  • Rural location limits flip comps to larger lot, larger home segments

  • Septic tank, not public sewer

  • Likely needs permits to finalize uncompleted areas

🏆 Best Play

Ideal for:

  • Investors with crews or local GC connections who can finish the build

  • High-end BRRRR operators targeting large-rent homes

  • Flippers aiming to resell in the $550K+ range in the Hesperia custom home market

Why it works:
This is a size-play special. At just $84/sq ft with nearly finished high-end features and oversized garages, the spread is clear.

With $100K–$125K in finishing, you’re still sitting below $110/sq ft on a home that could list near $600K. That’s a rare margin for SoCal.
