"abandon" house in town

Hello everyone,

There is this odd house I see everyday.  Nobody lives in it.  The neighbor told me it's been empty maybe since 2011.  That neighbor had tried to buy the house at that time but was turned down. The roof is aging.  At least one window is broken out.  Some siding is missing and the broken rain gutter is aimed right at that spot.  

and the property gets mowed and trimmed every week.  

How weird is that?

Diane

Weird! You'd think anyone who cared enough to have the property mowed would care about that broken window, at least board it up. Is this in Fayetteville? Are you interested in a buy/flip or hold? Have you checked the tax records online to see who owns the property?
