Had to share w/ you ladies yesterday's experience...
So we are on the real estate hunt and my hb decided that we should buy a fixer up and we can do everything to our style... which is great, we already did that to our first home so we are ready for the project.
well... our realtor warned us before seeing it that its a big time fixer up... big time. so we get there and the entrance had these gates that looked like gates from hell. basically the house looked like it was either a drug dealers house or a hookers house... it had Rooms full of mirrors (wall, ceiling and FLOOR), secret passage ways through the rooms, doors that looked like walls, a bar for a kitchen, the bathrooms were ALLLLL a shinny black glass and tile including the faucets. mhhhh, whatelse OH it has a disco set up side out. OMG it was hilarious finding things and vaults under the floor. it seriously looked like a Gogo.
But on the flip side it does have potential under the mirrors and poles. LOL. Its a HUGE house with a pool on the lake. there is the same style (but not looking like a gogo) house down the street selling for $279 and it is not on the lake and it still needs a lot of fixing up.
Lets see is they accept our really low offer. So that was our adventure last night.

We are really leaning towards a fixer upper.
LMAO!! I think i was in shock of everything and trying to figure out what was what and what not to touch. my hB was like look you have a walk in closet that ended up leading to a wanna be man cave between two rooms with poles and mirrors. and i was trying to figure out who the hell would actually live here!?!?
I got some pictures From the internet!! This does not do any justice!! in fact its showing 3 bathrooms when we only found 2, Mhhhh I wonder where the 3rd one was at?!?!?!
Here is the front of the house, all the illegal additions, the kitchen/bar, Bathrooms and the pool/ Yard... Enjoy the mansion!!! lol

Oh WOW! Thats very interesting.
It does look like it has a lot of potential. $199 is a great price too. Make sure to keep us updated.
We just heard from the Realtor.. its cash only due to diligence and code violations... Grrrrr.
Off to house hunting again.
