Thanks man, I just got a really good deal on it, the old man had been there 47 years and wasn't in good health, had to move into a nursing home because he had amnesia among other things. I paid about $30k under value, and I expect the value to be around $180k+ come springtime.
2 nearly identical homes sold for $171k and $174k within the past 6-8months, one is my next door neighbor now. Neither house had any real upgrades or anything, where my house will be completely remolded.
There is a house slightly larger but same layout for sale 3 houses down for $249k, its just a 4bed/2bath, 1700sq ft, but still.
good luck with your rehab, its fun and definitely rewarding, just time consuming. Any pics of yours?
