Real Estate Part 2

I'm speechless. I know. It doesn't happen often but I am.

I don't know how to put into words what life is like for the ethnic majority living here.

BUT I think pictures say it all:


Yes. Those are Side by Side refrigerators.
As in- 2 refrigerators- side by side.

What happens here is several families move into one single family home. It seems the closer the relation, the fewer walls???.. but some then have the ambition to put up walls, some make additions, turn porches, garages or patios into apartments... Some put extra doors to the outside giving private entrances.

SOME add multiple kitchens- THIS 2355 sq ft house has 3 kitchens. And the description reads "Home has foundation issue, code violations and needs CASH BUYER OR FHA 203k Rehab Loan ONLY. Large home on expansive view lot. Home is currently configured as a three-unit property. Home has to be converted back to SFR, per zoning regulations and code enforcement. Property includes 1 fireplace and 1 wood stove. Tons of Potential! BTV all measurements and info given herein. CORPORATE OWNED PROPERTY! Home to be sold AS-IS. Seller acquired property through foreclosure, has no material knowledge of property and is exempt from providing a TDS. Buyer to do their own thorough investigations. All offers must include a copy of your earnest money check, pre-qualification letter and proof of funds. Buyer to verify all info/measurements given herein."

Well.. THAT really makes me want to buy the place. (not to mention we don't happen to have the cash to buy it and fix it)

Or THIS house's description- "BACK ON THE MARKET. .. .. SHORT SALE PACKAGE COMPLETED NEEDS LANDSCAPING, IN FRONT AND BACK * HOME WAS REBUILT IN 2007, LIVING AREA IS A COMBO OF DINING AND FAMILY ROOM * A GREAT ROOM * EVERYTING IS NEW, ENERGY EFFICIENT WINDOWS * NEW PANEL DOORS NEW CARPET, WAITING FOR NEW FAMILY TO MOVE IN.

(emphasis mine in bold. The listing agent must have thought the all caps typing was going to bring in more offers. You should see the picture- go ahead, click on it and you'll see why it's still for sale 240+ days later)

And there are such jewels as this- THIS Jewels' asking price is $270K and it's bank owned.
And lastly- This one. The description reads "FIXER, FIXER, FIXER great investment oportunity. Great Location. Views day and night(lights)Do not let anybody else take it. Hurry it won't last too long in the market." Uh huh.. right. I'll snatch it right up especially when you post the pictures of the water damage, holes in ceiling from where the sheet rock got wet and bulged out (opposed to the holes we see cut intentionally to fix said leak) and other "character pictures such as this:
