INVESTORS SPECIAL/203K Special: This property presents a compelling opportunity for the discerning investor or savvy buyer looking to make their mark. Situated in a desirable location with promising potential, the owner's eagerness to sell, coupled with the "SOLD AS IS" condition, opens the door fo...r creative visionaries to transform this space into something extraordinary. Although the property may not comply with FHA, Conventional, or VA requirements right now, that in no way should be a dampener for the far-sighted man. In fact, it is under such a state of affairs that the opportunity may easily appeal to one looking for investment avenues, such as through the 203K loan program, or to individuals capable of taking up renovation projects to unlock the property's real value. At the core of this property is a rough diamond. With comparable sales in the area coming in at an after-repair value of $400,000, there is room for value appreciation upon strategic renovations and upgrades. The possibilities are endless-be it turning it into your own family home or realizing maximum income potential with this investment property. By finishing the basement, the property could hold another 2 to 3 more rooms on the first floor, thereby making it an excellent 6-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment. This allows for a duplex setup, truly making it nice and feasible both for home and investment. The rent rate also gives credence to the business model of this area, containing an overall rent rate of $1,300 to $1,600 for a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment. In so doing, this provides a more than stable platform in being able to accrue consistent rental income for the property's potential investment returns.

With a little vision, resources, and expertise, this piece of property can become something greater than a home to you; it can become a lucrative investment opportunity.
