*** JUST LISTED *** AN OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING...WILL YOU ANSWER....? *** Currently only (1) of (4) Single-Family Detached properties with at least (2) bedrooms for sale under $100,000 in the 29407 zip code! As most of us know, supply and demand control the market and I don't think you can have any less supply than a TOTAL OF 4 LISTINGS (under 100K) for an entire zip code!!! 1609 Poinsetta Road is located in West Ashley (Inside of 526) and has easy access to Historic Downtown Charleston, Interstate, Shops, Restaurants, Airport and more...It truly is a CENTRALIZED LOCATION and you can expect DEMAND TO BE STRONG. Especially, for those of you who are Investors and like to get fixed income through a long term rental. Estimates are suggesting at least a 10% gross ROI....that doesn't include any "sweat equity" or future appreciation (Buyer to verify how much this property can rent for). I'm not a financial planner but that sure does look like an attractive investment to me. Now, for those of you whom are looking to purchase a primary residence then here's your shot to get in at a VERY AFFORDABLE PRICE and live in an IDEAL LOCATION! In addition to the EXCELLENT LOCATION, this listing sits on a 1/4th of an ACRE and has ample room for parking and to play around in the front or back yard! After stepping inside, you are greeted with an open Living/Dining Room Combo that BOASTS HARDWOOD FLOORING THROUGHOUT and Ceiling Fan. The Kitchen overlooks the Living Room and has plenty of counter-top space and cabinetry. Both of the Bedrooms also have Hardwood Floors and Ceiling Fan and share a FULL BATH. Of course at this price some TLC is needed but I can only imagine how GORGEOUS the floors would look after a good refinish. Or, with a fresh coat of paint, how this property will shine. All of this is an opportunity for you to build some "sweat equity" and add your personal touch to the property. So aside from its AFFORDABLE PRICING, this (2) bedroom, (1) bath, 862 sq. ft. home does not appear to be in a flood zone nor does it have any HOA fee's! Can it really get anymore affordable than that? Whether you're an Investor or End User, this truly is a RARE OPPORTUNITY in market where there's not many so you need to ask yourself, are you going to get in the game or be caught sitting on the sidelines.......? ***SPECIAL FINANCING MAY BE AVAILABLE ***** AGENTS MUST READ NOTES *** Buyer to confirm accuracy of all info provided.
