Hi Jenkins;My house is near S 81 x Ohio.

These houses are all over the map dollar-wise, another one that I will hopefully be listing in a few more days will probably be listing for under $90k, I'm currently waiting to close the sale on another in the low $100's, we sold one a few months ago for $340k and the next house up to work on will probably list right around $400k.

If they skip payment(s), or pay late, or have a lot of clogged toilet calls - well, we'll see then....
