161 Garfield Ave is a 2-bedroom, 1-bath home in El Cajon, California listed at $599,000 with 819 square feet, built in 1951. The seller is asking for cash or hard money, so it is priced here on our fix and flip loan: an investor with at least one completed project puts 10% down ($59,900), we fund the $36,855 renovation estimate in draws, and the loan closes in 2 weeks. A first flip puts 20% down. A California buyer can also close in 3 days with 35% down and no appraisal. See every hard money opportunity in California or our California hard money lending page.
