The Kansas City Land Bank has scheduled additional open houses this week to let the public see what’s available in the $999 home sale.

Last month, the agency announced a sale of about 50 properties, dubbed #HeartofKC, with urban core homes available for $999 (although they will need a lot more money invested to make them livable). The sale runs through April 30. Interested buyers can apply at KCMOLandBank.org, which also lists the entire inventory of homes.
