This place has solid structure, contemporary plumbing and electrical systems, and doesn't even have any rot/bug issues in the crawl space.

It's a semi-cute little house, and if I own it long enough, will get better looking with some siding/trim/paint changes.

Rule number one when looking at fixers: I don't want structural rerpairs. I want my work to be very visable. Trim, paint, refinish floors, landscaping, yada yada....
I like houses that need "Lipstick & nail polish". They are the most fun to work on, and have the greatest profit margin.
