Where is the property located?

The property is located in Vandalia, Illinois, ( 2074 N 425th St, Vandalia, IL) just outside the city limits. Peaceful country vibe, but close to everything you need.

Is this a house or a commercial building?

It’s a residential house on 5 beautiful acres, with two barns on the property. Perfect for someone who wants space, or even a venue/event setup.

What kind of shape is the property in right now?

The home was rented up until the end of April, so it's definitely livable as-is. That said, it could use a little TLC to really shine. It’s a beautiful place with tons of charm and potential; just needs someone with vision to make it their own. We’ve priced it to reflect that.

Is the property vacant or occupied?

The house is currently vacant and available to view by appointment.

Is this a good investment?

Absolutely. The house already appraised around $335,000, and property values in this area tend to rise by about 3% annually. That’s roughly $10K/year in equity growth, not counting improvements you make.

Does it cash flow?

Depends on how you use it. Some people we have talked to are considering turning it into an Airbnb, event venue, or hobby farm, each with great potential.

Can I use this for an Airbnb or rental business?

Yes. It’s already zoned for residential, and short-term rental options are being explored by several buyers. We can even share a projected revenue breakdown if you're interested.

Do you offer seller financing?

Yes, we’re definitely open to seller financing or a contract for deed. Terms can be customized depending on your down payment and timeline. What kind of monthly payment or down payment range are you aiming for ? so we can see if it’s a fit?

What kind of terms are you offering?

A common scenario is $2,250/month for 18 months, then you’d refinance or pay off the remaining balance. We’re flexible with credit scores and open to creative deals if you’re serious.

Is there a credit check?

We’re open to buyers with imperfect credit. What matters more is your commitment, your plan for the property, and your ability to make the monthly payments.

What happens if I miss a payment?

We build in a 10-day grace period, and if you're 60 days late, the property reverts back to us, but you’re not on the hook for additional rent or penalties beyond that.

What updates are needed?

The house is in solid shape overall and doesn’t need any major repairs—just some light TLC. Things like refreshing the bathrooms, tightening up the porch stairs and gutters, and giving the place a deep clean and some fresh air will go a long way. It’s the kind of home that just needs someone who’ll care for it and bring out its full charm.

Are you fixing it up before selling?

We’re selling it as is, but honestly—it doesn’t need much. It’s in good shape overall and just needs someone to make it their own. We’ve priced it to leave room for you to add your personal touch, whether that’s a few cosmetic upgrades or a bigger vision you have in mind.

How can I see the property?

We offer private showings by appointment only. Just tell me when you’re available and I’ll coordinate a walkthrough.

Can I make an offer?

Yes! If you're interested, we can discuss your offer terms and what works best for you; cash, seller finance, or a hybrid deal.

What are the next steps if I’m serious?

Once you’re ready, we’ll schedule a call or meeting with the owner to go over the deal structure and make sure it’s a good fit for both sides.

What are my exit options with this property?

Buyers are using this type of property for:

- Owner-occupancy with land to expand

- Short-term vacation rental or Airbnb

- Wedding/event venue

- Hobby farm or animal sanctuary

- Fix-and-flip for resale
