thoughts on rehabbing in Greater Sullivan area of Greenville

[Melanie Fletcher]

Hi guys.  I am looking for an investment property in Greenville, SC.  I have found a home in the Greater Sullivan area of Greenville.   I am getting mixed reviews on the area.  Locals says, 'stay away.'   My local realtor say that it is in 'the path of progress' and would make a great buy and hold.  It is a 4 BR/ 1BA and is pretty much a complete renovation.  I could purchase for roughy 35k and would need to spend another 20 - 30k getting it up to speed.  Anyone have experience with this area?  Do you see downtown moving this way?Where are the other 'up and coming' areas of Greenville that I need to get into now?
