While the home is in fairly solid condition, it will need significant repairs. Bidders should consult the attached Pre-Sale Inspection Report and Scope of Work Document, which includes an estimate of probable rehab cost, for more information. Please also note that the purchaser is responsible for the current year property taxes (2014); at the time of closing.
Please note that the rehab cost will often cost more than the winning bid price. Failure to bring a property up to code within 6 months will result in forfeiture of property (9 months for historic properties). Auction dates are subject to change. Check the site regularly to be aware of any schedule changes.
