About this home
1026 W RAMBLA STREET
Forest Hills Opportunity: buy the location, design the rest. This 2-bed's with an Office, 2-bath home has an oversized two-car garage, an attached carport, and a layout ready for your ideas, all minutes from Babe Zaharias Golf Course. It's a true blank canvas, ready for a top-to-bottom transformation, from the roof and A/C to the kitchen, baths, flooring, fixtures, and fresh paint inside and out. That makes it a great candidate for a renovation loan (FHA 203(k), VA renovation, conventional, and others). Qualified buyers may be able to finance the purchase and the repairs in a single mortgage, and some programs even allow early mortgage payments to be included. Choose every finish, turn the garage into a gym, game room, or guest suite, and build equity in an established Tampa neighborhood. It's centrally located, with USF, Busch Gardens, Tampa International Airport, the city's pro sports venues, and white sandy Gulf beaches all within easy reach. Schedule your private showing today.

The assumptions

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
