Description

Calling all investors, flippers, and buy-and-hold buyers! This total rehab property in Macon is a prime value-add opportunity for those ready to renovate and reposition. The home requires a full renovation and is being sold as-is, making it ideal for experienced investors seeking strong upside potential. Located in an area with rental and resale demand, this property offers a blank slate to redesign, modernize, and maximize returns. Whether your strategy is fix-and-flip, BRRR, or long-term rental, this project provides the flexibility to execute your vision. Cash or renovation loans preferred. No seller repairs or disclosures. Bring your contractor and imagination — opportunities like this don’t last.
