I pity the poor dufoos that ponied up a down payment and assumed a VRM on what I would have considered a $35,000 dollar bungalow at best.

Hmmm...I don't. What is the biggest investment most people make in their lives? Cars? Daily Starbucks?...No! A house. I saw first-hand the pieces of garbage these people were buying for top dollar. Worked in a hardware store where they were coming to buy supplies to repair 2 year old overpriced houses. The BIGGEST inverstment in your life and you buy a piece of junk? That is pure stupidity. No pity!

The house of which I spoke was probably built during the 40’s.

A thousand or more dollars a square foot is a tad pricey for a 700 square foot house that old with no parking, storage space or yard, located on a dead end street several miles from the beach.
