This is a teaching screen, not brokerage, appraisal, investment, lending, tax, legal, zoning, licensing, inspection, financing, or purchase advice. Public listing pages may be stale, incomplete, internally inconsistent, or based on seller/automated estimates that require independent verification.

Ranked public candidates
-
3222 Donald Dr, 40216 — $172,500 — Watch. Public page: 2 beds, 1 bath, 986 square feet, 9,583-square-foot lot, one-car garage, and listing language claiming a new roof, water heater, electrical, kitchen, flooring, and remodel. The claims are useful signals, not completed diligence.
-

-
4319 Southern Pkwy, 40214 — $199,000 — Watch. Public page: active as-is 3/1, 1,569 square feet, 1938 construction, unfinished basement, and October automated values of $210,449–$230,341. Condition, scope, title, insurance, and lawful use remain unresolved.

Good-Buy walk-back
Teaching formula: conservative exit/use value × 79.5% − repairs − carrying/closing allowance − reserve. Stress case reduces exit/use value by 10% and raises repairs by 25%.
| Candidate | Ask | Exit/use assumption | Repairs | Hold/close | Reserve | Scenario ceiling | Stress ceiling | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3222 Donald | $172,500 | $215,000 | $12,000 | $8,000 | $12,000 | $138,925 | $118,833 | Watch |
| 5412 Fruitwood | $205,000 | $230,000 | $15,000 | $9,000 | $12,000 | $146,850 | $124,815 | Watch |
| 936 Brentwood | $79,000 | $105,000 | $30,000 | $7,000 | $10,000 | $36,475 | $20,628 | Watch |
| 4319 Southern | $199,000 | $230,000 | $40,000 | $10,000 | $15,000 | $117,850 | $89,565 | Watch |

These assumptions are intentionally conservative and are not appraisals or recommendations. Before any human action, the minimum diligence is current status and identity/parcel confirmation; independent condition and systems review; permits/code; title/liens/taxes; insurance and flood; zoning/use; access; and any tenant or occupancy rights. No contractor, inspector, title company, lender, insurer, broker, or realtor was engaged.
School-expansion Good-Fit watch
Goodwill West Louisville Learning Center — conditional bridge/pilot
Public room route and guidelines. 2820 West Broadway, Louisville KY 40211; public pages show free approved rooms with capacities of roughly 40–125. Fit: one-off public AI/workforce, entrepreneurship, or community-learning workshop. Not a licensed beauty-education campus or rent-free school lease. Unknowns: approval, dates, recurrence, equipment, accessibility, safeguarding, insurance, content fit, and Goodwill rules including a brief Goodwill representative address. Status: monitor; no request sent.
Louisville Free Public Library — conditional public-workshop bridge
Public rules and room inventory. LFPL requires meetings to be free and open to the general public, limits reservations, prohibits financial gain, and does not provide a permanent office or headquarters. Fit: free public AI/workforce orientation, literacy, or entrepreneurship workshop. Not private commercial training or a campus lease. Unknowns: branch availability, library priority, setup, equipment, accessibility, approval, insurance, and content fit. Status: monitor; no reservation or inquiry sent.
Louisville Landbank — low-cost process watch, not a verified free site
Public portal and program information. The portal visibly showed $1 structure examples and a public OHCD route, but purchase/redevelopment still carries application, capacity, zoning/use, code, accessibility, utilities, insurance, equipment, and buildout unknowns. Fit could be a future permanent campus or land-bank watch only after a readiness packet and Di approval. Status: monitor; no application, reservation, fee, or contact.
Expansion verdict: No Qualified Expansion Lead. The two free-space routes are conditional public-workshop bridges; the Landbank route is a low-cost process watch, not verified free school space.
Duplicate and boundary check
- Prior Good-Buy reports through October 24 were reconciled. Today’s list adds current public listing status/details and a new dated marker; it is not a cosmetic reorder.
- 40214 is included. 11107 Thunder and 10324 Deering in 40272 were excluded from active ranking because current public detail pages marked them Pending; 4901 Libby was marked Contingent.
- 1230 Bardstown remains a separate capital/leverage asset and was not mixed into school expansion.
- Conclusion: zero known substantive duplication within the sources actually reconciled, not universal clearance.
Source note: Listing links above; public ZIP pages: 40214, 40215, 40216, 40258, and 40272. Official space/property routes are linked in the school-expansion section.
