I am never going to pressure someone to buy a home when it's not right for them, but if you're a renter and owning is your goal but it feels just out of reach, it may be more realistic than you think.
815 N Oakland Ave is an adorable near east side bungalow that takes some of the biggest worries off the table: the furnace, AC, water heater, water softener, and sump pump, have all been replaced within the last 3 years. Plus, grant programs from $5,000 (no income limits on this one) to $15,000 (with income limites) are available, meaning you don't have to have a huge chunk of money ready to put towards closing costs. Now priced at $215,000, still with the same attractive features like hardwood floors, updated kitchen and bathrooms, fenced in yard, finished attic, and a great garage.
If you’re curious, send me a message. I’m happy to show you the house, connect you with a lender, or just talk through whether now is the right time for you. Already working with an agent? Schedule your showing on this one today - it's worth a closer look!
