frustrated individual

[Everett Marshall]

I have house that I contacted for 8 thousand. Comps have houses in that area selling , on avg 59,000 . It need 20000 in work and I already have a renter ready to go in when is finish. I can't get it to sell, not even at 9000. Am I missing something? 

It's directly behind the police dept. But it's not the best neighborhood (not the worst either). Been marketing on Craigslist daily.can someone tell me where I missed the mark?
