I do agree that was a sweet setup but 300k is a lot more than 180k.

One day.

But do they have high speed Internet service up there?

Fuuuuuuuuuuck....need to get my GF a job that's not in the city...Also a bit worried about the house...why was it gutted? Why not try to at least half finish it, seems like you could get your money back and more...

I know, sent this to my wife...... All I see is that garage filled with junk, aka used dirt bikes, quads, side by sides..... Snow mobile? - > if we ever get enough snow... Etc

 

[Kensington]

Maybe throw a heater, insulation, and a lift in there too...

 

[Spivitz]

Bed, TV, refrigerator, stereo system, bar, shitter, etc

Probably due to finances. The listing says it's a short sale, so the owner likely didn't have the funds to finish.

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

yikes which means the bank will also need to accept the offer on the difference as a loss..

 

[Spivitz]

I wonder how deep the pond is... Hmmmm

I wonder how deep the pond is... Hmmmm

It doesn't look huge, can't imagine much more than 5 or 6 feet

I also can't imagine the stocked fish doing super well with a freeze, a bunch of small frys

id be more confident having something like that than something someone cobbled together & flipped though, at least you know what you're getting.

100% right here...


Give me a gutted house someone gave up on versus someone who watch some flip show on TV and did all the work themselves and have no clue what they're doing all day, every day.

True. Old houses scare me too...I'd want to basically rip down all the drywall, new electric and plumbing, reinforce and replace anything that looks even remotely sketchy. I think I'd probably spend an extra $100K that I didn't have

 

[Yaj Yak]

or just leave it and probably never have any issue ever....

 

[Kensington]

I could also use that time to run a bunch of network cable too, and run ducting if it didn't have it, etc. I'm just not sure I'm prepared for an older house...

 

[FESTER665]

There's so much you can do when you gut a house, new plumbing, electrical, networking, hvac, insulation, etc....


Almost the easiest option sometimes as well.

Not to mention, 12 acres... That is exciting

I mean, as long as the structure is sound, if you had the capital, seems like it would be a worthwhile endeavor.

Just because it's new doesn't mean it was built right

The want is bad!!!!

No. They built the pole barn, put bigger shed next to house, moved small shed to rear pasture, and did a lot of little updates
