I looked at one today that had dry rot on the floors, a hugh hole right through a wall, broken closet doors, missing kitchen cabinets, and ruined carpet. The price was $31,000. It would cost twice that to “fix” it.

There is another one that has a wall heater and evap cooler and the owners want $120,000 for it. Flat top, two bedroom 640 sq. ft.

And I’ve seen everything in between. I’ll still look on Friday, but the more I see of these homes, the more I understand why Henderson wants someone to buy them and fix them up. One just has to have deep pockets to “fix” a lot of them.

This one is 1558 sq ft on 1/4 acre.

That sounds like a manageable size, and you could xeriscape the yard ... natural desert!

Sounds like our first house in '79. Electric wall heater near front door, circular fireplace taking up most of the living room, flat roof, two bedrooms, 500- sq.ft. (Bedrooms so small our double bed left room for a dresser and a very narrow walk space -- no closets. $50k. In the mountains, small lot, 35 degree slope.

Heaven.
