I just found this one...http://har.com/search/engine/indexde...kButton=Y...on the buybankhomeswebbsite it says the bank is trying to get 114,900 for it but im guessing the bank is trying to get rid of it and is tryingg to get 99,000 for it. I checked the county appraisal district and they value the house at 129,490

I've noticed that its pretty typical in homes from the 60's and bring the place up to code Sounds like a lot but Im sure it could be done in a month if you spend a good 10 hours a day...
