We showcased this Alabama fixer upper with two bedrooms, two baths last moth when it was listed at $20,000. Well, it sold for $20,000 and was immediately re-listed at $50,000 with no work done to it. Someone expects to make a tidy profit.

The two bedroom, two bath fixer upper has an inviting front porch, pier foundation, hardwood floors, two fireplaces and clawfoot tub. It is about a 20 minute drive to Fort Benning and just a five minute drive over the Chattahoochee River to Columbus, Georgia.
