Excellent investment opportunity. Extensive work needed to return this charming bungalow to its original charm, however, seller believes roof is approximately 10 years old and in good condition, and electric baseboard heat and plumbing are in working order. Nearby Old Dominion University, this is a sought after location. Similar rehabbed homes in the area are selling in the $200K+ range. AS IS WHERE IS. Seller makes no repairs. CASH or rehab loans only. Seller prefers quick closing. LOOKING FOR HIGHEST AND BEST OFFER.
