Fixer-Upper – For Sale by Owner – Handyman Special
Only $159,900 – this is likely the most affordable home in the neighborhood—priced to sell! Great for a Florida handyman looking to rehab and customize, ideal as a primary residence or a rental property. Home’s after-repair value estimated to be $195,000~$230,000, based on recently sold and currently listed homes in the neighborhood.
