This well-built old house was built in 1907 and boasts original woodwork as well as beautiful windows. Did you notice the unique wrap-around window? The home sits on a corner lot in a neighborhood of similar older homes in Alliance, Ohio.

223 S Howell St, Rocky Mount, NC 27804 $25,000 Sold for $41,050

OHU50K NOTES

Well, as far as I ‘m concerned, this fixer upper is well worth the $25K smackers. Just look at those floors, the long central hallway, the high ceilings, multiple mantels, original lighting fixtures and, of course, that fabulous floor-to-ceiling cupboard in the butler’s pantry.

So why so cheap? Among other things, the house is located in Rocky Mount, not in the worse neighborhood, but not good either. Rocky Mount can be rough.

803 Park Ave, Johnstown, PA 15902 $23,999 Sold for $20,000

OHU50K NOTES

Save this old house. I was attracted to this fixer upper because it looks exactly like the first house we owned in Bayshore, NY. Our featured home today is located in the Moxham Historic District of Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

The Moxham Historic District includes 330 contributing and 34 non-contributing structures, including architecturally pleasing homes, old carriage houses and horse barns, vernacular houses and church buildings mainly dating from 1890-1930. The neighborhood was built in a relatively flood-free area, and the infamous 1889 Johnstown Flood resulted in little physical damage to properties in Moxham.

Unfortunately, the historic neighborhood has gained a reputation for crime in recent years. When we purchased our Bayshore house in the 1980s, the surrounding neighborhood was in decline. Today, however, the houses in the now low-crime Bayshore neighborhood are well-maintained and sell between $300K – $400K. It only takes a few individuals to start a change.

400 E 7th St, Anniston, AL 36207 $38,000 Sold for $38,000

OHU50K NOTES

I am partial to yellow houses, so for me, this fixer upper bungalow has curb appeal. I admire the broad front porch, front facing gable and brick foundation.

What is not to be admired is the neighborhood’s dismal crime stats. The tip-off is when the realtor calls a listing a “great investment property.” Alabama property taxes are the second lowest in the country, however, so that’s a plus. Another plus, is the well-maintained older homes on the street.

Well, this is a find ~ a c.1923 fixer upper Tudor Revival cottage in Daytona Beach, Florida for $80,000. Yes, that’s right, Daytona Beach.

While the crime stats could be a lot better, the house is just 5 minutes to the beach! It has some lovely features, too, including hardwood floors, stone fireplace and French doors. Could make a great vacation or rental house. Did I mention it is only 5 minutes to the beach?!

Here is a Florida fixer upper with curb appeal. I can’t resist a yellow house, and this one has imbricated shingles in the gable. Hardwood floors have been painted, and the house appears to need a new roof, but the home is clean with tiled bath and a simple updated kitchen.

OHU50K NOTES

This c.1925 Acadian style fixer upper sits on almost one lush green acre. The Acadian style cottage became a popular choice in the southeast at the turn of the century. The steep roof shed moisture, and the house was typically constructed of native woods, particularly cypress, which were less affected by moisture and insects.

Imagine all the fun you can have with friends and family at this lakefront cabin in the Ocala National Forest! Kayaking, hiking, wildlife watching are all right outside your doorstep. The cabin is furnished, too, so all you have to do is bring clothes and food.

Ocala is said to mean “fair land,” and this property sure is that. Did you know that Ocala National Forest receives more visitors that any other national forest recreation area in the Sunshine State? It is the oldest national forest in the eastern continental US.

There are trails for horseback riding, off-road vehicle locations, and hunting and fishing are allowed with permits. You would have to look into it, but perhaps the cabin could be rented out when not in use. Interesting property.
