Would you buy a house someone died in?

Brad keeps turning me down. Something about too bookoo.

I think the word you were looking for was bukake.

[War Machine]

Eh, grew up in a house that a lady died in a gas fire in the basement .... wouldn't bother me.

Ever witness anything weird? I don't believe in ghost but I'm sure as hell scared of them

Are you sure they're not plaster? Regardless, plaster and stucco are both porous. There's still lumber of some sort inside those walls, too. There could be big damage inside those plaster/stucco walls that you will never know about unless they're torn out to do other work (like electrical or plumbing).

With a house this old you will likely be looking at upgrading the electrical boxes, all wiring, plumbing, and insulation if you are planning on a resale anyway. Add in the fire damage and you will essentially be rebuilding the entire house. This will amount to a considerable investment of time and $$$.

If the house is in a desirable location you will need to determine whether or not it is worth it to you to do so. Those factors start with the value of the surrounding houses, the estimated amount of $$$ & time required to get this house back into tip top shape, the amount you are willing to pay (stay on the low side here), and if you have the resources & gumption to stay with this project until it is complete. If you don't stay focused and finish it on a schedule you will lose your shirt. There will also be a lot of things that will come up during the restoration that no one even considered that will cost you $$$ and frustration (as Vertnut points out). You can make a big profit off this type of house but there are pitfalls along the way. Where do you want to invest your time & money?

Thank you so much Baron for coming out.

[SMKR]

people die all the time, some in hospitals, some in homes, some in fires at home. It is just death, not like hauntings and ghosts are real. Buy it and make $$$$ and enjoy your new home.

You bet.

We found no ghosts.

[soap]

I'd have too be stoned out of my fucking head. To spend one night in a house like that,

[BradM]

We found no ghosts.

Sorry to hear buddy, you'll get ghost fucked eventually.

[Quadforce]

I would not buy one but thats just me.

[Vertnut]

Thank you so much Baron for coming out.

So what is the verdict?

[Baron Von Crowder]

So what is the verdict?

Mine is much bigger, but in both length and girth.

Mostly smoke damage, very little burn. Wouldn't be a terrible repair, but the whole house needed resto before the fire. Wouldn't be terrible if you wanted to repair to live there for a while and renovate but not a quick fix and flip kinda place.

Nah, never anything strange aside from the giant burn mark in the basement.

[YALE]

I'd still pull all that plaster out, and rewire the whole thing. Am I correct in presuming this is East Dallas?

those pics reminded me of the movie "the money pit"

Oak Cliff, nigga. We love the older homes over there. The neighborhood its in is tucked away and super quite. We were there for a few hours and only saw two cars drive by. No gun shots either, but it was early.
