Attention investors!!! This Tryon Bungalow is priced to sell!!! The previous owner had made a fair amount of repairs and improvements, but it is up to the new owner to finish the rest. The original hardwood floors are in several rooms in the house, and the kitchen, bathroom and one bedroom have tile. The kitchen cabinets and countertops were replaced and the bathroom is updated. The laundry room has a natural gas hot water heater and there is a connection for a stackable washer and dryer. There is an extensive covered front porch and deck. The pricing reflects the lack of a functioning HVAC system which will need to be installed by the new owner as well as additional repairs and updates that were not completed. The high crawl area of the house on the left side appears to have once been used as living area at one time, but is currently completely stripped down to the ground. The remaining crawlspace has had a lot of work done to it. The guest bedroom and laundry room are on a slab and are finished, but there is no venting in place. Note that the Seller is offering reliable financing options for real estate investors. Fix & Flip and DSCR financing is available with competitive rates and a streamlined process to help qualified investors move quickly!
