Work to be done top to bottom and on the outside, in what is expected (multiple contractor quotes) to fall potentially around a $375K-$475K rehab range // could be more/less based on your vision. After Repair Value falls between 2.15-2.3 Million within .5 miles of this property. This is also a project that likely projects at a 4-6 month rehab timeline. Do your due diligence, run your numbers, and roll up your sleeves. **We are not at all interested in wholesalers/wholesaling** This is for an end buyer, savvy investor, and it will need to be a cash / creative type deal. This home does need new electrical, new Plumbing, new HVAC, new Windows, new Roof, new water heater(s), you name it. Random enough the main living room and dining room are quite nice, rest of the house is gonna need a full makeover. We will be presenting offers as they stand and do need 24 hours to respond.
