Purchase price: $155,400 Cash invested: $40,000 Property is located in Cuyler-Brownsville an historic district within walking distance of popular Metropolitan District of Savannah GA.I purchased the property to get started in the real estate space, however I value the walkability of the property, its proximity to parks and nightlife.Although the area is a rated roughly as a “C class” neighborhood.
