About this House

Investor special with strong upside potential! This house was previously rented for $1,395 per month, and Section 8 payment standards now allow up to $1,431 for a 3 bedroom house in this zip code. Ideal for BRRR investors, rehabbers, or flippers! The home features a brand new hot water tank and many cosmetic updates throughout, but still needs a bit of TLC and some finishing touches to become rent-ready. The property will likely require a new main plumbing stack, and the roof is nearing the end of it's lifespan. Turnkey houses in the immediate area are selling for $120,000 or higher. This value-add opportunity offers an easy chance to gain equity quickly. Sold as-is. Seller will not entertain seller financing or creative financing offers. Price reflects condition.

    "I guess its nice that there are state parks in the area where you could take your dogs to spend some quiet time, go on walks, and get some fresh air. The East side is my preferred part of Akron; However, having said that, just be careful that you pay close attention to which part of East Akron you are in— If you end up in the wrong area, you may be looking at a situation where you'd want to keep a closer eye on your dog, for example. Also, keep in mind, Akron isn't very rural, so you'll have plenty of somewhat busy, to very busy streets all around you... If you've got a dog that likes to get loose, you may want to take precautions to avoid any dangerous accidents."
