Foreclosed houses
It’s actually sad, but I’m also quite interested in the cheap properties
My partner and I recently found a hidden pocket of amazing houses right near our neighborhood. It’s not that our subdivision is awful or anything, but the whole area is locked in a low-income demographic around here, then most of the sites are pretty typical for lower-middle class working families, so it was actually deranged when my friend and I found these sprawling mansions only a few minutes away. We drove through the neighborhood and marveled at the properties, although my friend and I soon realized that most of the houses appeared to be run down. We started to notice funny details, such as clunky A/C window units hanging out of a immense, picturesque front window. We also saw a ton of outdated air duct and nasty, semi-deconstructed air conditioners and boilers sitting around the sides of the houses. That’s when my friend and I realized that various of the homes had been foreclosed on, and therefore the residents had begun to take apart the house infrastructure for currency. They were ripping out copper wiring that was contained in the air conditioner and heating equipment, plus the big aluminum panelling that was used for duct work, then clearly the residents couldn’t afford their big house payments, so they began to live separate from modern heating and cooling systems as a last ditch effort to keep a roof over their heads. It’s actually sad, but I’m also quite interested in the cheap properties. I know it would be extravagant to renovate one of those homes, including establishing substituted air temperature control. I wonder how much it would cost to put a whole new Heating and Air Conditioning system back in.
