This gem just showed up in one of my Craigslist markets as a handyman special.

What a find! Just slap a little paint on the walls (if you can find them), put in some quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances... HGTV shoppers are always after the rustic look.

I mean, it's got great bones. And without all that meddlesome flesh, you can really see how great the bones are!

Somebody lost their ass on this lol.

I can't imagine what location is required to make that worth the trouble.

Perhaps the handyman is handy with a bulldozer?

Where in the world was this?

It's in a very rural less desirable portion of a county that I track in the mid-atlantic. The lot is probably worth ~20% of what they're asking. I get a smirk every time the craigslist ad is refreshed by the wholesaler and shows up in my email alerts.

I'm not a real estate investor, but this place is likely worth less than the lot value due to the demolition needs, right?

Indeed. It would be worth ~ lot price - demo - environmental cleanup (ex: old oil tank) - hassle of doing all this crap instead of buying a piece of hay field next door.
