[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, We had to move buy a fixer upper farther away from work to even get on the property ladder. It needed major structural work on one wall. We had to move out of the area to afford a SFH., and it was also a fixer upper. It was so bad the owners refused to put it in Zillow, b/c they didn’t want to do the work. Mold, pet damage, leaks, etc. We both have masters degrees. It felt like we should be able to afford nicer homes, based on what our parents bought, but in the end we had to make our homes nice. We simply couldn’t afford to buy them that way. [/quote] Those estate homes need to be reported to the jurisdiction and hit with the vacant property tax penalty rate. Get them moving into new hands. DC is ruthlessly brutal about slapping an empty house with that orange VACANT sticker. [/quote]
