601 N Bess St, Marissa IL 62257 - 4 Apartments

4900 sq ft building with block and brick outside walls located on a corner lot.  Currently designed as 4 apartments, but configuration could be adjusted since interior walls are not load bearing. Current layout consists of three 2 bedroom and one 3 bedroom units. The exterior has been updated with newer windows and fresh paint. The interior needs work and the current condition varies from needing fresh paint to just bare studs.  If you are looking for a potential good return with a small investment, this may be the property to start with.  Building could possibly also be converted into other uses.

Terms & Conditions:

Buyer Premium:  There is a 10% Buyer premium that will be added to the final bid to establish contract price. - A 3% commission will be offered to the buyer’s agent who properly registers their buyer prior to the buyer placing a bid.

This is an internet-only auction; all bidding takes place online. The property is sold AS-IS. The seller reserves the right to accept or reject the highest bid.

  • Soft Close: Bidding will enter a "soft close" 5 minutes before the lot's scheduled end. The soft close extends bidding by 5 minutes each time a new bid is placed during the final 5 minutes. This cycle will continue until no bids are placed for 5 minutes, ensuring all bidders have a fair chance to submit their offers.
  • Max Bidding: You may enter your maximum bid at any time. If a lower max bid is in place, your bid will immediately jump to the next increment higher than the existing max bid. In the event of a tie with another max bid, priority is given to the bid entered first. Your bidding screen will display a GREEN outline, or the phrase "you" next to your bidder number if you are the leading bidder. A RED outline indicates you have been outbid.

Note: Refresh your bidding screen frequently to avoid internet delays that could misrepresent the bidding status. If you're unsure about your internet connection, please make arrangements to bid from one of our offices by contacting the auctioneer.
