We should pass a law requiring all engaged couples to work a year on renovating a house together - if they survive, they can get married.

Cheap houses come with a price.

Cheap houses come with a price. Don't tell that to the Millennials, though. A good number of them need to learn actual life's lessons, not the textbook and feel good nonsense.

Just upgrading the plumbing and electric is a nightmare.

LOL ... 3 months to the day after we met, I started a business flipping houses with my girlfriend. We got engaged on our 1 year anniversary, and married 2 1/2 years after we met. We have done a number of flips and BRRRs as well as now getting into commercial multifamily syndications. I completely agree that had I done something like this with wives 1 and 2, they would not have been wives 1 and 2.

Ever see the movie "The Money Pit" with Tom Hanks and Shelley Long?
It's along your premise and worth a watch.

Renovation is going to be way more than $50K. $50K is cosmetic only. I built a calculator for estimating reno costs for properties bought at auction, and just from what little is known about the house from the article, I would estimate over $120K

Oddly “this old house” is pretty realistic though they never give you figures, the project is always extremely pricey.
My favorite on the topic is “Mr Blandings builds his dreamhouse”

That’s great! I’m in my fourth year of this business here in the Denver market, so my deals are about 2-3 per year. What market are you in?

And with lessons, let the real world learning begin. Not cheap enough that most of them will be able to just walk away and in the process of learning to DIY, work with skilled tradesmen, and fit into a small community they might just turn into decent human beings.

Yes, like BLM showing up to collect the gentrification tax.

Careful, that house may come with a Ratt problem like that GEICO commercial.
