Good news about this property . .. . in the deluge of rain we had Wednesday April 10th this property was high and dry. Also this location is minutes from New Orleans via Airline Highway or Metairie Road and minutes for Lakeside Shopping Center via Causeway. It really is central to so many things. This property is being sold most likely as a "TEAR DOWN"! Call your investors before it gets scooped up by someone else. The inside is in bad shape. However, It is presently occupied. Would rather not show it but if necessary, will meet you there. A "Release and Hold Harmless" Agreement will need to be signed before entering. There are defects in the roof, walls, flooring, ceilings, foundation, heating/cooling systems, there is mold/mildew and there is no insurance on property. I do have a quote ( $ 9700) to demolish, remove all structures on the property, load and haul debris to landfill. 32 yards of sand included in price and Sewer Cap Fee included.
