Also in the description,

"This manufactured home will require some updates."

Definitely a bulldozer is needed :D

That's 100% not a tear down reno. It just needs new flooring and some paint. Probably $5k tops.

A soggy, 20 year old trailer is absolutely a tear down, even if it's in quite a bit better shape than this one IMHO. Those things have glued in panels that turn to roach sugar, I've never seen one over 15 years old, regardless of how clean the tenants/owners kept their living space, that didn't have a massive roach infestation hiding somewhere.

Yowch.

My good friends bought a house that had been shown on Hoarders and they had to empty out the prior owner’s belongings after they died. They said that this person just opened up some drawers and their cat had been using them as a shitbox for months without being emptied. A million other such gross details. I helped them out in day by going over there to wipe out their kitchen cabinets with bleach. By that time the stuff has mostly been emptied out. They said that there had been a refrigerator there, sitting unplugged and full of rotten food but the door was closed and the seal intact. So they tried to just get the whole damn fridge out to the curb and hauled away.

But! They got it to the doorway and it was one inch too wide so of course they had to open up the fridge and take its door off to make it narrower. No dead bodies inside but there might as well have been.

I have done hurricane disaster relief before, and I can attest that there is no smell on this planet that equates to a refrigerator unplugged for several weeks but still intact

Does the toilet look to long to anyone else?

[–] fkn 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a bariatric toilet and the image is weirdly compressed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I had to Google that but, apparently, that's definitely a thing. I suppose I should have realised that with bigger arses come bigger toilets.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The image is compressed vertically.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pity, I was hoping for long toilets to be a thing for some reason.

For when you had too much fiber and get the exact amount of Courics.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol no joke something just like this sold for $650k CAD near me

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I guess I have to wait for another recession to buy a house

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Free murder carpet.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

At least the price is justified for once

idk I'm not American, I keep seeing million dollar properties in American ads

[–] Ghostalmedia 4 points 1 year ago

America is pretty massive and there is a LOT of variance.

A lot of the properties posted here are shitty homes in states / cities with high pay and lots of opportunity. Sometimes the land is worth more than the home.

This town in Mississippi is not that town. The local economy is crap and it’s next to a river that floods. Also, the state is very conservative, has a high violent crime rate, and terrible access to education.

You’d probably be better off spending that money on a used caravan to park in California.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well they did knock it down $300

If it was anywhere except Mississippi.

Oh neat, SCP-173’s containment chamber is up for sale! I wonder where he wen—

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Seems they've misunderstood shelfie.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This is so uncanny. I love it. I just wouldn't want to live in Liminal space

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've fixed up worse, not for the feint of heart for sure!

[–] kaitco 1 points 1 year ago

Somebody added a sunroom on a double-wide… ¡Madre de Dios!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I mean, it’s only $40,000. I’m sure you could get a loan for $60,000 to fix it up.

[–] Frozengyro 4 points 1 year ago

I doubt someone interested in living there can get a loan for that much

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You could find much better property for $100,000 in Mississippi.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Oh I mean the total loan would be $60k. $20k to fix it up.

I dunno. Whatever. Point is it’s not as bad as some of the stuff I’ve seen on here.
