I recently sold a nice two bedroom in Elmwood Oaks to a first time home buyer for the low 140s. It needed a little updating. Joey was going to put down wood and tile floors. These upgrades will last much longetr than he is going to own the place. This is an area where Joey will get his money back. He can repaint and pull down the wall paint the wall paper which is a lot of sweat equity. This is a great way to build equity for a first time buyer. Other wise the unit was nice. Your agent can really help you on what upgrades will pay off in the future. Go for location and the fact that most of the units tend to sell rather quickly here when priced correctly. When you see few sales and the sales that sell quick then you know you have a good demand for the units.
