First off I am 21 and have a semester left till i get my degree in Environmental Science-Conservation Ecology. My mom asked me if I would be interested in a house that was going up for tax sale. My grandmother and I went and bid and won. Its a cememt block house with an attached garage. The house needs a ton of work and I have no problems with that. When we got the house it had 16 inches of water in the basement. Has been empty for 6 years. But prior to that had a new furnace (thats now probably ruined) all new electric run and new plumbing. Thats the good(ish) The bad: needs a new roof, all new drywall, and the list goes on. I paid about 1/5 of what the lot alone is worth. Even if I do decide to tear down the house I can make my money back in the materials that are there. So any comments to a new home owner that has a ton of work on his shoulders. Either tear it down or remodel it top to bottom and rent it out. Thoughts? PS I will be using my tractor to remove some of the debris and level the yard.
