350 grand for a crazy bird lady's house?

What the fuck

[88CRX]

As seen on hoarders!

:barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf:

[cet]

:barf:

That price seems high considering the amount of work involved with it does it not?

[Disoblige]

Is this a joke? lol.

There were no utilities at this house for FOUR years :eek:

[ercchry]

they finally got them out!

house has been up forevvver

there was a comparable (same house, just not beat to shit) for about $600k when this first came up

[ExtraSlow]

Does that sick whip in the garage pic come with the place? That thing has some serious value.

[K3RMiTdot]

LOL came in here expecting a mansion or soemthing. thats just plain gross...

[masoncgy]

It's that house... hahaha... I had posted about it previously in another thread.

Good to see the inside is as bad as I thought it might be.

Gut & rebuild.

[CanmoreOrLess]

It's not that bad, a couple of garbage bins out front and a half dozen guys at $20/hour to clear out everything. Done in a weekend. If the bones are solid, new flooring, kitchen, bathrooms, paint inside and outside and she is good to go. In the spring, turf the grounds and flower the shit out of it. Sit and flip over the summer to a sweet family looking for a piece of paradise. It's not like a major crime took place here or it was a grow house. No idea of the surrounding house prices, to know if this will all work out well financially.

Gross yes, sad to think someone was this mentally unstable to let it get this far. I would think if you were to put up a small outdoor bird feeder the neighbours would be on high alert.

$500-$600 depending on finishes. you are hard pressed to find a big corner property like that in canyon meadows for under $450k... pretty much nothing you would even want to live in over there for under $400k

[Maxx Mazda]

Exactly what I was thinking. It would make a great flip. Put $50-$80K into it, and still come away smiling.

[Skyline_Addict]

good lord

biggest issue i can see will be the plumbing. no utilities for 4 years?! you see that toilet? yeah that was used with no water till it was up to the brim :barf:

then given 4 years to harden throughout all the pipes in the house...

[7thgenvic]

I saw this a while ago. Everyone has seen horders. I can't imagine the amount of work it would take to get this place back into livable condition.

Good luck with that budget.

depends what you can do yourself... but yeah. i pegged it closer to $150k, but i would do a bunch of exterior work too

[JustinMCS]

A part of me wants to take on the challenge!

[max_boost]

Fuck that sure is nasty.

+1

[revelations]

If I did this full time, I would drop 100k into it and flip.

[ercchry]

beyond group flip? :rofl:

i think we have enough trades on here to cover every aspect of this :rofl:

[revelations]

I can do:

- roofing
- some electrical
- some carpentry/flooring
- some plumbing

:nut:

[AndyL]

I'd be budgeting close to 175k, your not gonna be able to lipstick that pig... almost in the bulldoze and rebuild... which is probably why the 350k price tag, lot value...

I can just imagine the stench now... omg... you'll be lucky if its just new floors, after 4 years its probably in the studs/joists...

Do I hear a volunteer to supply and install new garage doors for this Beyond project?

http://www.marinacityonline.com/image/2008/dlr_glass_doors.jpg

[jaylo]

Definitely a teardown

[guessboi]

Waiting for Jordan's response on this listing. :bigpimp:

Bulldoze for sure.

[corsvette]

Its probably not as bad as Y'all think. Yes, the bathroom is gross for sure, but i dont think it would net a gut to the studs reno except for the bathrooms. The houses on Hoarders are 10x worse than this place.

hehe... There'd be a long contract and negotiations before I got involved :) This is the type of sh*t that goes seriously sideways...

But if one of the beyond lawyers drew something up... I'm gonna be slow over xmas :)

That door sucks, powdercoat + obscured ftw

[bleu]

That is revolting.
My husband, brother and father reno and flip houses...but there is no way I'd be letting him back into the house after working on a site like that all day. Gross.

I cannot begin to imagine the person/people that lived there. It's sad to see such deplorable living conditions.

[JordanLotoski]

This has been listed for 140 days. Realtor friend showed it he wore a mask and shoe covers.

[7thgenvic]

maybe for 250K it would be a good steal... As for a beyond group rebuild. I have a full factory full of melamine and plywood. I can donate some :)

i kinda want to go look at it just to make you walk through it :rofl:

[Redlyne_mr2]

TO MANY GERMS

[ianmcc]

At $350K it's way overpriced hence the 140 days listed.
Closer to $250K for sure.

Whats the cost on this double door? 17x8

[Seth1968]

.

[AndyL]

Depends how its optioned, that pair was $$$ but it was mostly in the options, triple pane = lots of weight = lots of $

Did a cross reed glass door last year that was around 7-8k, haven't seen what glass has been doing recently

I love a realtor with a thing for old school theatre. It's showtime!

[CanmoreOrLess]

Could go all Breaking Bad while in the refab phase. Have a wicked bird costume party on the final day.

[canadian_hustla]

2012 CTA is $389,500
in my opinion, not a good deal. $250,000 would be a good deal

:werd:

Also goes to show you how out of touch the City is when it comes to tax assessment, lol. That property is "worth more" than my house :rofl:

[Frankie88]

looks like a "good" deal lol

[revelations]

I want to video scope behind the drywall first before I would buy .... also, ill bet all the water/drain pipes are cracked from freezing and the moisture from thawing out.

doze it down and put a pre-fab house on it.... else, subdivide.

[sexualbanana]

At $350k I would think it's not worth it to just reno and flip the house. I would imagine that there's a fair bit of contamination within those walls, and the seller would probably have to take a good hit on the price if the buyers ever find out about the house's history.

alot of people were intrigued... from what a realtor had told me... there was no utilities/services to that house for 3+ years

nobody knows what would be uncovered, as you start tearing that thing down to its studs...

you're talking possibly burst pipes, subsequently mold, etc...

anyone get an assessment as to how much that lot itself is worth?

[Mrbj]

:eek:

WOW...they really expect to get 350K out of this...it will be interesting to see how much this one goes for.

I think the buyer will be a contractor with the balls of steel.

[in*10*se]

personally, i'd offer land value less bulldozing costs. The house is worthless...
so i'd bet it goes for 250k or less.

[sillysod]

only 1 solution for the owner of that place...
