Kathy, this house has been used as a rental and now the owner wants to sell. It is in fair condition for a house built in 1969 but will need some attention. You could probably do the repairs a little at a time as you could afford them. I have to warn you that this house is in Hideaway Lake which is a gated community and requires Home Owners Association fees. The initiation fee is $5900.00 and can usually be negotiated with the purchase, then the monthly fees are about $175 per month. I am a real estate agent with Century 21 in Lindale and would be happy to provide you with assistance in finding the right home for you in the Lindale area. Feel free to contact me at 903-714-0112 or email to Charles@EastTexasRE.com. You can also take a look at listings on my website listed below. Thanks for your question and I look forward to hearing from you.
