Is fire damage worth it

[Paul Schaefer]

Would you touch a house that has fire damage?  If the numbers work out, is it worth it?  Would you repair or demo & rebuild?

Here is some info on what I'm looking at. A house here in Memphis is on the MLS for $5,900. It is 1392 sqft, 2 bd/1 ba. ARV would be in the ballpark of $100k+ at the current square footage. The description says there is fire damage, but there are no pics. This is in a decent area as it is within walking distance of the University of Memphis. Would you bother even going to look at the property?
