Quick catch and release of a property with great potential! We got this when it needed to be cleaned out and the lot cleared. After doing that we decided to list it for a week to see if we could get it sold quickly and move on, rather than going through with the rehab. The new buyers turned out to be friends and they have done a kick *** job! If youre reading this you know who you are!
