Seaside Onset Property
Flipping Houses in Onset, Massachusetts
It may be a bit messy but this property just wreaks of opportunity!
We just purchased this three bedroom single family home in Onset, MA and have thus far not done any work whatsoever to the home.

First thing I noticed about this home was the smell. The previous owners were big time cigarette smokers and it was apparent that they had no qualms about smoking indoors. On top of that, the smell was compounded by a reasonable amount of trash, rotting food and even fecal matter left over from pets.

It's these rundown homes that present the most opportunity for making a lot of money. Check out the video below to get a better sense of what I am eluding to.
