Hello! My name is Heston and I am brand new to the community. I am 20 years old and super excited to get started. I live in Mississippi and was looking on zillow at potential buys and I came across this 2 bedroom 1 bath house that needs some work. It is currently at 18k and has been on the market for 5 months or so. I am thinking if I saved for a few months and bought in cash that I could get it for even lower. It isn't on the best side of town and it appears to need updated air conditioning, repainting, and probably new appliances. I'm thinking fixing the errors would instantly raise the appraisal, while also raising my equity. Let me know what yall think, please! https://www.zillow.com/homedet...

Hi Heston- I suggest you speak to an agent that you trust in the area or an appraiser. That will be your best bet.
