I was checking out the homes for sale in the 5 Points West / West End area and notice two nice dwelling on Fulton Ave.
1500 FULTON AVE SW

This home built in 1920 sells for only $5,000. A 15 year mortgage with 20% down results in a $59/mo payment (40% of that is taxes & ins). The MLS remarks is what really made me laugh:
Vacant, show anytime. Doors are not secured, show at your own risk. Great Buy, Good investment property 2 bedrooms, sold as is
I love it - “doors not secure and show at your own risk”! What is secure about the house? The windows definitely aren’t. I see no windows. The porch isn’t. It is missing one column and the other is being held hostage by either kudzu or poison ivy. Maybe it’s just the photo, but the house appears to be leaning.
I’ll have to drive by the house and get a better photo than the one MLS provides.

1640 FULTON AVE SW

Just two blocks down from the previously mentioned home, you’ll find a home built in 1930. It is listed at $25,000.
Investors delight! Great “Fixer Upper” house has potential. Large rooms, fenced in backyard. Won’t last long. Seller will pay up $1000.00 in closing costs “Sold As Is”
Best line: “Won’t last long”. Yeah, that’s because Mayor Langford is bringing the wrecking ball and backhoe over to demolish the home.

Is that carpet or concrete flooring?
