[quote=pemeliza]” Me and DW basically bought the cheapest house on a great street that was original condition. We plan to do just as you suggest which is to make improvements (slowly over time!) and live in the home for the duration. I plan to be carried out in a pine box. [/quote]
That’s what I’m trying to do, too.
I just came across another one. 3331 Canon St. Info I have it sold 11/02/2009 for 469k. I can’t confirm it was back to bank or third party, but it listed shortly thereafter for about 610k and nothing done to improve the place. It just sold for 524k. Of course taking advantage of the 18k in credits.
