The siding has been removed, I would replace it with fiber cement (vinyl would look ridiculous in the neighborhood)The floors have original the hardwood.

Also, a programmer/dentist/doctor/venture capitalist might just want to pick up a little apartment building.

I have a deal on the line right now that I would love to hear feedback on.Property Details2 unit Duplex900 sq. foot on either side; built on a cement slabBuilt in 1987One side currently occupied by a tenant @ $725/mo & i'm planning to live on other side in order to homesteadPurchase agreement price: $154,900 - 26 days left until closingNote: There were several other offers and mine is the highest by approx. $1,000.

And they poured cement down the drains.
