Listing agents description:

Shevy's analysis: I have not had an opprotunity to preview this home, however, it appears to be in a good location in the track walking distance to the community pool and hot tub. This home could use between $10,000- $20,000 in upgrades to modernize it. However, this property could make an excellent lease for an investor looking to purchase for the long term using a 30 year fixed fully ammortized loan or for a first time homebuyer that wants to live in the wonderful city of Huntington Beach.
