281 E Avenue 33 is a 3-bedroom, 3-bath home in Los Angeles, California listed at $959,000 with 1,809 square feet, built in 1895. The seller is asking for cash or hard money, so it is priced here on our fix and flip loan: an investor with 1 to 2 completed projects and a 740 score puts 10% down ($95,900), we fund the $198,990 renovation estimate in draws, and the loan closes in 2 weeks. The down payment steps with experience, credit and the size of the renovation. A California buyer can also close in 3 days with 35% down and no appraisal.

From the listing. Step into 1895 and discover a rare Victorian treasure. Only the second time on the market for more than 70 years. This property is set up as a house, and yet it was functioning as a Duplex for decades. Perfect opportunity for developers and flippers, prime location, endless potential, and ready to be reimagined for maximum return. This 3-bedroom, 3-bath home overflows with original character, hardwood floors, vintage windows, and timeless architectural charm. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, it backs up to a road and offers mountain and downtown skyline views in a peaceful, park-like setting. The garden, patios, and outdoor entertaining areas invite you to enjoy nature right at your doorstep, bordering Montecito Heights Open Space and hiking trails. Just minutes from Highland Park, Debs Park, and Heritage Square Museum. Parking for two cars. A one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a true piece of Los Angeles history. * * * This property will need to be purchased with Cash, a 203(k) Loan, Construction Financing, or a hard money loan. * * *
