    And I found one!
    Boy howdy did I find a mess, but this is a jewel in the rough (again), and just needs some TLC and a lot of spit and polish.

    For those who read about my last fiasco bidding on property at auction (whole different thread), this situation is different.
    I don't close for another 9 days, but this is a cash sale with no appraisal, no inspections, and no warranty.

    I do this kind of thing for a living, so it looks different to me than it does to most.
    O.k. enough chit chat.
    Some pics, and more details to follow. IMG_20230905_193439726_HDR.jpg IMG_20230905_193456267.jpg IMG_20230905_193506076_HDR.jpg IMG_20230905_193550764_HDR.jpg IMG_20230905_193556600_HDR.jpg
    This house was built in 1920.
    3 bedrooms and 1 bath.
    3.5+ acres accompanying the house, along with a huge chicken coop (must be 40'long) an orchard of some sort that I can't find through the undergrowth.
    The last occupant went into a nursing home and passed shortly after.
    The house has been sitting empty for 3 years and homeless have broken in and you can see what they did with the personal affects.

    Yes, I have some work ahead of me, but I can see through the clutter.
    Built in 1920, this place has plaster walls, and there's not a single crack in the aster, ANYWHERE!
    Not one on any ceiling, walls are all smooth.
    I can't see the floors, but I'm not concerned about that.
    I'll deal with them once I excavate that deep.
    This place had horses at some point and there is a small stable with 4 stalls.
    I have about 3 acres between me and my closest neighbor.
    Three sides are farm fields.

    I can't wait to get started...
