Des Moines, IA Bungalow

Although it’s less common here than on the coasts, the southwest, and the rust belt, REO fever is, in fact, hitting the heartland too. This old (ca. 1870) 3-bedroom bungalow on the near-east side of Des Moines is listed for $29,900 --- less than half of its previous sale price of $61,500 (2/8/2005). Zillow.com estimates that this house is now worth $75,000.


The house needs some work, but could be a good starter house or investment property. For about $10,000 to $15,000 of basic work, this house could really shine, and could be rented for $700 to $900 per month, easily delivering substantial positive cash flow, even after renovation work expenses are considered.



The basics...
Address: 913 East Washington Avenue, Des Moines, IA 50316
Current Listing Price: $29,900
PREVIOUS Sale Price: $61,500 (2/8/2005)
Size: 3 Bedrooms, 1 Bathroom; 912 square feet
Lot: .09 acres
