Would you buy a house someone died in?

Sorta?

[1carcrazyguy]

Now, if I was buying it to resell or rent? Possibly.

Pretty sure you still have to have a disclaimer statement if "anyone has died from anything other than natural causes in the property".

I'm pretty sure I see and hear enough shit that isn't real in a house built in 2001. 1920's? Fuck that. I've yet to see a movie about good things happening to people who buy houses that people die/were murdered in.

And with all the houses on the market, you aim for a 20's house that people died in? And isn't the wiring aluminum?

[BradM]

geof, have you been trying to fuck a ghost?

Well, he hasn't been trying to NOT fuck a ghost.

Meds could help that.....

Lol, I know that there are people that don't believe, but I really don't care. I actually don't think they are the spirits of a dead person, more like an entity that can be glimpsed and felt. The muslims and even old translations in the Bible call them Djinn.

If a house came with a smoking hot redhead maid ghost like in American Horror Story I will pay double the appraisal value.

Movies, really?

Bible chapter and verse?

[Vertnut]

Nope. Haunted or not, that's a straight-up shithole, IMHO. I have the resources to make it right, and I wouldn't touch it. There are too many other good deals out there that would require a ton less work/money. Hell, even getting a loan for that could be a nightmare, not to mention insuring it.

Bible chapter and verse?

Been a long time since I saw that and I can't find it now. Still, plenty of references in the bible to demons and evil spirits.

[Shorty]

I ain't afraid of no ghosts. That place looks like a huge headache though.

how much do you think it would cost to get it in nice shape?

We're thinking 75-100k. What are some hidden problems that come with fire damage? Its a stucco house, and all the interior walls are stucco. We figure all new wiring, plumbing, roof, ac/heat, foundation repair, all new windows, new bathrooms, and kitchen. The house has a maids quarters below, so we are planning on linking the two together which would require a stairwell built

[01vnms4v]

I'd do it in a minute. But after remodel I would live in it.

Ghost do not exist, period!

[helosailor]

Problem solved...

[crapstang]

would you marry a woman that works on Harry Hines on the night shift?

There's your answer.


a fortune in upgrades (plastic rebuild in this case) would fix it....but it'll still be haunted!

[talisman]

Meh, maybe. I wouldn't touch that house with the amount of work it needs, I'll tell you that. Holy shit.
