The Mess T.J. Waconia Left Behind At 3306 James Ave. N. Fortunately Falls Into The Right Hands

First Amendment Comment And Criticism

As discussed in my previous post, an intrepid and rare breed of "benevolent flipper" managed to buy a T.J. Waconia house at 3306 James Ave. N., jumping through what turned out to be relatively minor bureaucratic hoops....

However--and I should point this out--it may have been so much easier because this buyer has a well-documented history of renovating houses and selling the properties to homeowners, not slumlords.

In any case, the house at 3306 James Ave. N. recently changed hands, and these informative pictures show what T.J. Waconia left behind. Multiply this by 140, approximately.

However, even though there's a lot of work to be done, the place isn't THAT BAD. It's a solid house with character, and it shows serious potential to become a very nice home in the hands of a skilled flipper with a proven history...plus a concern for the neighborhood! (Come down to Hawthorne, girl, we'll treat you right)

Also, the house is developing an interesting history, part of it documented right here. This could make for some great conversations during a house-warming party.

To my "fellow benevolent flipper" I say:

You go, girl. You keep flipping them North Minneapolis houses.
