Any pictures? Curiosity has gotten the best of me! A neighbor offered him $100,000 for the place so it must not have been in too bad of shape.

A neighbor offered him $100,000 for the place so it must not have been in too bad of shape.

OTOH, if he can buy it for $100k, fix it up for another $50k, and sell it for $200k, then it's worth it.

I suspect it's that sort of situation -- a trashed house in a neighborhood that's on its way up. It explains not only the offered price, but also the complaints.
