About this home

HIGHEST & BEST OFFER, FIRM DEADLINE IS THURS 10/31/19 at 4PM. INVESTORS, CONTRACTORS, CASH BUYERS, LANDLORDS, or anyone looking for a project with HUGE equity-potential - come get this. Interesting strategy here. Seller purposely chose to list LESS than market value since Thanksgiving is coming soon and seller wants it SOLD. This house will sell THIS WEEK to the strongest offer! You've got a head start on your rehab with a new roof, newer gas, forced hot air heating system, new electrical service and panel, solid foundation and structure. The rest of it all needs to be done. AMAZING opportunity. Excellent lot & location - see attached plot plan. HUGE potential yard as well with some clearing. Will be an outstanding house but it needs a lot of work. Electricity is on and water is on! WILL SELL to strongest offer & will likely sell over list.
