4/2 in Sherwood Forest


I recently met with Landra Pryor, an agent with Crye-Leike here in Memphis. She is a real go-getter. I usually don't have good experiences with agents but she is truly different. I was meeting her at a house that was reduced from $30,000 to $15,000 near Sherwood Forest, which is about a mile from the University of Memphis campus. The house had water damage and as we later found out, damage to the foundation. The house had cracked along the centter and formed a V at the midline. This was much more than I would ever want to tackle. She took me to two other houses that were in the area. One was a 2/1, but because of the way it was laid out, it was really more like a 1/1 plus a nursury. Not a good piece to buy for rental purposes. The next one in this picture she showed me was really nice. It is a 4/2 across from Sherwood School. The hardwood floors were nice, but not perfect. The interesting addition made for a great large 4th bedroom or could be used as a great gameroom/entertainment room. Contact me if you are interested.
