Why it's interesting
The home meets the baseline requirement: 3 bedrooms, remodeled, move-in ready, priced at $145k against a median comp area value of ~$97.8k (Bajadero), and located in an acceptable area with low flood risk (USGS X zone). However, it delivers none of the couple's 'loves'—no elevation, no views, no water, no fruit trees, no privacy, no rainforest character—just a flat, fenced suburban lot in a walkable but unremarkable residential pocket. The price is not a flip concern (no prior sale date given), but the property offers no compelling upside beyond basic habitability.
🔄 Refreshed with measured elevation/flood, the cadastre record, and the listing photos on 2026-07-24.
💵 No prior sale date or price provided in cadastre; current ask of $145k is modest against Bajadero median (~$97.8k) and Yabucoa comps ($440k median), but Bajadero rural median suggests local fair value ~$100–120k. Price appears reasonable for market, not a flip indicator.
What the photos show
Photos 1–4 show a modest, recently remodeled single-story home with a cream and brown exterior, situated on a small, fully fenced lot with minimal setback from a residential road; the property is flat with no discernible slope or elevation gain. Photos 5–12 reveal clean, functional interiors (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms) with basic finishes, light tile and concrete flooring, and modest kitchen cabinetry—move-in ready but not upscale. Photos 13–16 show the rear/side yard is a small, bare concrete patio with chain-link fencing and neighboring structures visible immediately adjacent; no vegetation, fruit trees, privacy screening, water features, or views are apparent in any image. The property sits on flat, developed residential terrain with no elevation, water, or scenic character.

Due diligence — verify before buying

- Confirm CASH SALE ONLY policy and whether financing/mortgages are truly unavailable.
- Walk the property and nearby road (Highway 656); assess actual noise, traffic, and pedestrian safety.
- Inspect foundation, roof, and utilities (water supply, septic/municipal sewer, electric) for post-remodel integrity.
- Check property tax and annual maintenance costs; confirm no HOA or special assessments.
- Verify no title/lien issues or encroachments given fencing; obtain clear title report.
