    In my neighborhood, it doesn’t matter if the house is haunted or if a horrific crime occurred there. As long as it has walls and a roof it’s a million dollars. (Walls and roof not required)

    guarantee you the “haunts” are psychologically tied to the seller, so when the sellers leave, the haunts go with them

    I can afford a small single family home but then I can’t put anything into it for five years. No furniture or repairs.

      That’s about where I’m at. Buy a house? Ok. But it’ll be empty.

        I was close to buying a small mid-century SFH this winter but it would have wiped out my safety savings just with all the moving and paperwork expenses.

    Relevant: When your house is haunted but the rent is cheap.

    Not only is this a solid horror send-up of a sort, but it also speaks to everyone that has ever rented/bought a crappy house and developed a skill-set around making that work.

      Didn’t intend to watch a 15 minute long video, but damn that was good.

    What is the difference between a haunted house and having roomates?

        If rent costs half because it is haunted, then it costs the same as having a roommate. not much difference

    Bought a crappy singlewide trailer on a few acres last year, I’ve been learning a lot about fixing electrical stuff in trailer houses. And floors. And roofs. And growing food. And raising chickens.

      Looked at trailers with how cheap they are, then learned there’s a monthly lot rental. 🤦‍♂️ may as well just buy a cheap house at that point.

        Thats why i bought land with a trailer on it. No lot rent but there is a mortgage.

        Some lot rent is crazy.

            There are some mobile home retailers that will sell you a “land-home package”. So you can have a new house on a couple of acres. I almost did that.

    Only upper class ghosts can afford to haunt a mansion like that.
