Best value in Lee's Summit is back on the market. Don't miss this 2nd chance. Solid 3 bedroom/1.5 bath/2 car garage house in a great neighborhood. Huge yard with covered deck. This is a big project but you will get paid for your effort. Great opportunity for FHA 203k loan or a flip for investors. At this price it won't last long. Seller is the Estate of the owner. They have never lived in the house so they have no information regarding the condition.
