🔨 TRIPLE PLAY FLIP AUCTION | ONLINE AUCTION EVENT | THREE INVESTMENT PROPERTIES FOR INDIVIDUAL BIDDING!

Collins and Company Realtors and Auctioneers is proud to present the Triple Play Flip Opportunity — three Sullivan County investment properties hitting the auction block at the same time, giving buyers and investors the rare chance to add one, two, or all three to their portfolio in a single auction event. Whether you are a seasoned flipper, a buy-and-hold investor, or just getting started, this auction was built for you. All three properties are sold as a Reserve Auction, and the seller has set a reasonable reserve and is motivated to sell.

🏡 LOT 1: 633 Jackson St. | Kingsport, TN 37660 

Sullivan County | Jackson Heights Subdivision | 988 Sq Ft | 0.26 Acres

Positioned directly across the street from the popular Jackson Elementary School in the heart of Kingsport, this 1948-built single-family home sits on a generous city lot measuring 50 x 210 feet — one of the deeper lots you will find in this neighborhood. The main level features 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, a living room, and a dining room, while a full unfinished basement of over 1,000 square feet sits below, ready to be finished for additional living space or left as-is for storage and utility. Heat pump, public water, public sewer, and a composition shingle roof round out the package. The location alone — steps from an elementary school, minutes from downtown Kingsport — makes this one a natural rental or flip candidate that will not sit long once improved.

🏡 LOT 2: 252 Sinking Springs Rd | Bristol, TN 37620 

Sullivan County | 892 Sq Ft | Double Lot Package — 0.63± Total Acres Parcel IDs: 055B B 028.00 & 055B B 029.00

Here is where savvy investors pay close attention. This offering includes two parcels sold together — the improved lot at 252 Sinking Springs Road featuring an 892 square foot single-family home built in 1948, PLUS the adjacent vacant residential lot to the west, combining for approximately 0.63 acres of land along Sinking Springs Road. The home includes a partial unfinished basement, a screened porch, and a 12x12 utility outbuilding. Public water and sewer are available with road frontage on a paved road. This double-lot package creates real opportunity — renovate the existing home and hold the extra land, subdivide, or develop. The land value alone makes this one worth a serious look.

🏡 LOT 3 — 381 Lynn Ave | Kingsport, TN 37665 

Sullivan County | 792 Sq Ft | Currently Tenant Occupied

Here is your turnkey income play. This 1940-built single-family home on Lynn Avenue in Kingsport is currently rented, meaning day-one cash flow is possible for the right buyer. At 792 square feet with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, hardwood floors, a wood deck, natural gas, public water and sewer, and heat pump — this is a solid little rental that a light renovation could push to a higher rent tier or flip for a clean profit. Centrally located in Kingsport with easy access to schools, shopping, and employment corridors, this one checks all the boxes for a buy-and-hold strategy.

📋 AUCTION TERMS All three properties sell subject to seller confirmation. A 10% Buyer's Premium will be added to the final bid to determine the final contract price. Properties sell in as-is condition. All information is deemed reliable but subject to buyer verification.

📅 All showings must be scheduled directly with the auctioneer. Contact Jacob Force at 423-430-7042 to arrange your showing before bidding closes.
