In November of 08, I had the chance to buy a 5 bedroom, 3 bath, half basement sitting on just under an acre, 58,000.
it had been foreclosed on and the previous owners punched holes in the wall and stripped out electrical wiring. Needed about 50k worth of work. I offered 38,000, bank accepted but at closing, the inspection report was revealed the HVAC also needed replaced, so I backed out. Stupidly as I had a gov job, it was stable and I had zero bills at the time. It sold in 2021 for 425,000…..
