Deferred Maintenance?

Deferred Maintenance?

A little paint and elbow grease and this one will be as good as new.  Then add to that new windows, floors and roof and this could be your dream house.  Quiet rural location a quick 2-hour commute to downtown DC.  Large wooded lot with neighbors who will keep the grass short for you.

Sounds like a property that I would be interested in if I were in the DC area Pat, how much?

Patricia - Wow, at first I thought it was a barn for those animals that are keeping the grass short.

Well, at least the lawn mowers are still working.  The yard looks great!

I see potential here. A half million dollars and a D4 Cat to get started with!  LOL

That is funny. Yes, who needs a lawn mower?  The lawn is the best part of this house.

Looks like a great home in a great location for the person that is willing to take up this renovation project.

What ARE those things eating the weeds? Are they cows? Maybe rhinoceroses? Guess you can tell I'm a city girl.

Bob, the building is a falling down house on part of a farm that a friend owns. It's my silly post of the week.  No Open Houses this weekend - at least not here!

Troy, there is a barn on the property for the critters, but it is in really great shape.  The cows and sheep have luxury space.

Endre, moderate fixer?  Wonder what a dump looks like in your part of the world?

Wayne, or a fall down, perhaps!

Somehow, I don't believe it will qualify for a FHA loan, Patricia!  Perhaps the owner will carry back!

That building doesn't need to wait for the big bad wolf to huff and puff to blow that house down
