I know, that house needs everything done to it, but still, $65k is obscene. We have targeted that street to be the first part of the nabe as a historic district, I hope we can get that done.

As for the other one on Arletta, the owners bought it with the intention of tearing it down. I am hoping it sells before they go back to "plan A" on that one.

The $65,000 one got a really nice young couple that bought it. Wasn't one of my deals but I heard about it. They are friends of the Kimbles that they interviewed in a nice little article on the hood (yes, yet another one) in the Chronicle last week. (see below), So I think that $65k one will end up okay.

the Kimbles house was one of the original 6 model homes and has suffered everything from flippers to fires before they restored it. A couple of these pics are from the article in the above link, and the "before" ones, which pre-date the fire in the house in 2007, are ones I had from 2004.
