HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Kelly Anne Lanham spoke to the Hutchinson City Council on Tuesday encouraging them to see the change in the first SCKEDD project house that is now ready to be listed for sale.
"I wanted to personally invite all of you to our new listing that I just listed," Lanham said. "It is SCKEDD's first Resurgence project that they have completed. It is at 1508 West 17th. SCKEDD was awarded $500,000 in ARPA COVID relief funds. Their goal is to start kind of a seed fund to keep flipping houses in Hutchinson. Our first goal is five, but ultimately, we'd like to complete 15 houses."
The listing is just west of 17th and Hendricks.
"It is a four bedroom two and a half bath house," Lanham said. "When it was purchased, it was vacant. An older gentleman had aged in place. It was very dilapidated, to the point where, new sewer line, new plumbing, new electric, completely redone, so pretty much a new house. It's beautiful."
The idea is that the money from the sale can be put back into the program.
"It's also houses that are too overwhelming for the average person to purchase and even an investor to purchase," Lanham said. "This house, at the end of the day, when we sell it, it's going to be a completely break even, if not losing just a little bit of money. Those houses that would really not be possible to redo."
The house is listed at $325,000.
