Rent to own, work for equity, no Bank financing needed. Bad credit is okay.
1221 Dickson Street could be your next investment property or your next residence. The amount you have upfront is your credit with me. This is a fixer upper house that comes as is, and you need some basic construction skills to put it back together. There are no structural issues of which I'm aware.
The house was occupied through mid-September but the previous RTO tenant reportedly ran into legal troubles and left without notifying me at that time. To date, I still haven't heard from him. A year ago we put in a new kitchen and new bathroom. Within the last five years, we put in a new furnace and new hot water tank. Within the last 4 weeks, we put on an entirely new roof.
You will need to do some drywall work, basic electrical, basic plumbing, in addition to flooring, paint, and those types of things to put the house back into optimal shape.
Please take a ride past 1221 Dickson Street to check out the house and area before contacting Russ to discuss your interest. You can also use various online programs to check it out before you leave home.
