Buying and Selling – Springfield Tornado Damaged House

So, about a month back I wrote about the tornado damaged house in Springfield we are buying. This is a 4 bedroom 1 bath cape house located in a great Springfield neighborhood off Island Pond Rd.

The home sustained significant tornado damage…. mainly the huge oak tree in the backyard came crashing down on the right side of the house, going right through the roof and damaging the second and first floors of the house. The left side of the home where the kitchen and living room are remained untouched.

This particular neighborhood really took a direct hit from the tornado, with several of the neighboring properties having to be torn down. The good thing is everyone is rebuilding now. The houses that were torn down now have new foundations in the ground and brand new construction is being put up.

We are still actively looking to buy tornado damaged houses in Springfield, Wilbraham, West Springfield and surrounding towns.

Here are some pictures of the Springfield tornado damaged home we bought:

 

 

 

There’s a look at the latest tornado damaged house that we bought in Springfield…. ain’t she a beauty!!

Our original plan was to rehab the house by adding a full dormer off the back side of the roof, add a full bath and sell it. Then we decided to do a lighter rehab, keep it four bedrooms and rent it to college students from the nearby Western New England College or Springfield college.

We wanted to rent it to give some time for the neighborhood to get all fixed up before we turned around and retailed it.

Now our plans may have changed again….. we’ll see……
