[quote=Anonymous]I can do you one better, OP.  The house next door to ours went up for sale--it was a 1950s ranch with stairs everywhere including to the front entry, the step-down living room, the basement, tiny passageways throughout, no driveway, sloped backyard that needed lots of love and regular maintenance.  It required extensive TLC and we were really hoping for someone who could bring it back to life, someone with the money and time to do some rehab.  It was purchased by first-time homeowners with very little disposable income and the husband was a quadripalegic and the wife was foreign.  Both were absolutely clueless about renovation even for accessibility, had no money to hire quality contractors.  The horrors that then happened--the lot and exterior were actually worse after their purchase.  Meanwhile down the street two miles there are acres of new condos with ADA compliant units.  I have no idea why somebody without the time, money, ability and inclination would buy an SFH that needed so much work.[/quote]
