Investor Opportunity – La Mesa Fixer! Classic 2 bed, 1 bath home on an oversized 5,100 sq ft lot, larger than many surrounding parcels, with detached garage and vintage layout. Built in 1941 and offered in original condition. There is enclosed private dining room off the kitchen which appears to be a third bedroom, but there is no closet. Excellent potential for redevelopment or renovation. Property is in pre-foreclosure due to a fraudulent lien recorded by a former power of attorney. Legal coordination is ongoing with title and the lender. 2 stall detached garage has been enclosed and is not currently functional for vehicle access. 3 parking spaces in paved driveway in front of the garage. Substantial personal property remains throughout the interior and exterior. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a well-located single-family home in La Mesa with strong investment upside. The detached 2-car garage offers potential for future ADU (buyer to verify), and the 5,100 sq ft lot provides ample room for value-add improvements. Property is in pre-foreclosure and currently occupied, with seller working closely with legal counsel regarding a fraudulently recorded lien. Please note: No interior photos are available, and property will be shown by appointment only to selected qualified buyers who submit both a written offer and proof of funds. Home is being sold as-is, with no repairs or credits to be provided. Buyer to verify all information including condition, permits, occupancy, and potential use.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
