About this home

.FLIPPER ALERT: High-Profit Potential This is ideal for a flipper or homebuyer with skills. This home is convenient to shopping and amenities, has a layout with potential, garage with storage, a level lot, fenced backyard and as they say, Good Bones. We are talking about a refresh to unlock the potential for massive equity. The home is dated and requires full renovation (including remediation for long-term cigarette smoke odor), making it the perfect blank slate. Financing: This property will likely not qualify for standard financing. Bring your cash, hard money, or utilize an FHA 203k/rehab loan. Multiple offers are expected. Do not delay. Submit your highest and best offer immediately.
