Buy Akon's Fixer-Upper For Only $2.5 Mil!

Akon put his home on the market, but anyone looking to snatch it up better bring a checkbook AND a handyman.

The Sandy Springs, GA crib hit the market for $2.595 million, and the singer/producer figures to take a loss. It was purchased for just under $2.7 mil, and needs roof repairs ... which could equal a good discount for someone.

The home is on a massive lot in a gated community ... and check out the spread in this gallery. Two pools, 2 guest houses, and basketball and tennis courts.
