DESCRIPTION

Calling all Contractors! This is a deal that just needs your special touch to finish it off. This 1925 home was recently updated with great kitchen and living room remodels but the attached 'shed living' areas need to go. Demo the additions and make minor corrections to the living areas and you've got a sharp 2 bedroom, 1 bath that will be a great rental or quick resale possibility. County records show permits for new roof in 2008 that looks like it's in good shape. Permit records are also present for the oversized 2-car garage which was built in 2004. Property is sold strictly 'as-is' and buyer is to verify all information including square footage and permits.

I love the way you previewed this, got people intrigued enough to subscribe, then put a link to the listing in your comment. 

That is brilliant!  I am definitely going to try that Michael.

I truly hope that you might have a buyer for this property.  Once I got myself to envision this without the attached 'shed' I started to really get excited about this listing.  I can totally picture what this will look like when it's finished.  :-)

Margaret - Thanks!  In some ways it's my 100,000 point mark because I 'won' an ActiveRain 50,000 point bonus contest.  I'm thinking of writing a blog to commemorate this milestone instead. 

Bob & Carolin - When this property is 'corrected' I'm quite sure there's a good profit potential.  Let me know if you are interested.  ;-)

Thanks Rebecca!  As Vic alludes to, I had a members-only post on this bank-owned listing when it was a pre-marketing assignment from this bank.  I truly was stumped as to how to market this so I turned to the community for help with a free-cup-of-coffee contest and at the end of the day I think I've come up with anything better than I could have done myself.

Another success story from ActiveRain!

Michael....A very interesting property.  The main house and garage should make this a great value - the shed, not so much.  The price should drive the sale quickly.'

Carra - You're quite right.  The area around this property tends to cater to big-rig drivers, construction workers, etc. and it's hard to find quality built garages.  One thing that isn't too evident from the photos is that this is on an odd-shaped corner lot with great street frontage on the south side.  This could be a very interesting land layout to someone wanting to have  additional parking or storage on the property.  I'm pleased with the kitchen and living room areas and I think most buyers will be as well.  Once the 'shed' is gone and the bedroom layout is fixed this will be a very desireable home.
