East Saint Louis, IL Ranch

This basic 1950s ranch in East Saint Louis is listed for $24,900. Its previous owner paid $60,000 for it less than two years ago (1/31/2007), and Zillow.com now estimates that this REO is worth $74,000.


East Saint Louis certainly has its share of problems, but it could be a great place for a beginning investor to get into residential rental properties. This low-maintenance brick house is in good condition overall, and with a couple thousand dollars worth of paint, carpeting, and minor updating, it will be ready to rent. A 2-bedroom single house like this could rent for $500 to $600 per month, easily delivering some decent cash flow to an investor. Section 8 could be a good way to rent this house, with the government guaranteeing most of the monthly income cash flow.
