House of the Week

925 Nelson St - Stoughton
$84,900

This home was initially listed at $109,900 in April. Now it's down to $84,900! New furnace, roof, water heater, window A/C, and some of the flooring is new! Appliances included. One car attached garage. Plus it is located in Stoughton, which is a nice community located just southeast of Madison. Only 700 square feet and no basement, so it's a small house. But with many of the major updates complete, this could either be a great starter home or instant cash flow as an investment property.

House of the Week

1507 Woodman Rd; Janesville, WI
$59,900

This house is less than 525 feet from the nearest Dunkin' Donuts. Wow.

Need I say more? True, there is only 704 finished sq ft. Plus there is no garage or basement. And, yes, it is located in Janesville. But it is less than $60,000 (possibly around $500 monthly payment after taxes)! It is zoned R2, so you can use it as a rental unit. And like I said, this home is located less than a tenth of a mile to the nearest Dunkin' Donuts!
