Description

Get in on the ground floor and be a part of Salem's Redevelopment Plan! Thompson Street is one of the first streets in the City's Plan. Great investment opportunity for the savvy investor ... ... 98 Thompson Street also offered at the same price where you can own both properties and expand your portfolio or live in one and rent one. The Home was remodeled in 2008 to include plumbing to the curb and curb hook up to sewage. Roof is about 2 years old. Hot water heater newer (2023). Cosmetics needed to refresh the property. This one will just make "$ense" to either an end user homeowner (cheaper than renting) or an investor!

    "I know all the dogs in my area, when one gets out of the yard anyone who is available to help joins in. I’ve personally returned neighbors dogs that wandered in my yard to play with my dog. There are allot of sidewalks, most maintained, some not. There’s also allot of areas of nature walks to check out"
