All these horror movie plots are starting to make sense. I would also move across country to get a haunted house for 75k.
Maybe the ghosts are friendly and can be reasoned with.

Unlike most landlords.
Maybe they chip in with the utilities?
Landlord Special just paints over the possessed girl, the priest, and his apprentice.
We're finally in a position to buy this year, and yeah, everything in our price range is old and beat up. Oh well, time to start my Handyman Arc, it'll be a blast!
I saw a sign for houses starting at 39k today and man I bet they are so shit
Most likely prefabs on land you dont own. Houses really arent expensive. Land is expensive.
In my neighborhood, it doesn't matter if the house is haunted or if a horrific crime occurred there. As long as it has walls and a roof it's a million dollars. (Walls and roof not required)
guarantee you the "haunts" are psychologically tied to the seller, so when the sellers leave, the haunts go with them
That carbon monoxide leak ain't going anywhere, muchacho
I can afford a small single family home but then I can't put anything into it for five years. No furniture or repairs.
That’s about where I’m at. Buy a house? Ok. But it’ll be empty.
I was close to buying a small mid-century SFH this winter but it would have wiped out my safety savings just with all the moving and paperwork expenses.
the power of behr premium paint available in thousands of colorsmart colors compels you
That stuff is expensive
I hear lead binds spirits so they can't leave the walls 🤔
I'm a Kilz guy myself, but fuck I'll use whatever gets me this 75k house.
Relevant: When your house is haunted but the rent is cheap.
Not only is this a solid horror send-up of a sort, but it also speaks to everyone that has ever rented/bought a crappy house and developed a skill-set around making that work.
If anyone wants an entire TV show done like this, check out Wellington Paranormal
Didn’t intend to watch a 15 minute long video, but damn that was good.
Glad you enjoyed it.
What is the difference between a haunted house and having roomates?
Casper doesn't do pot or has alcoholism.
My last roommate injected three or four marijuana a day, and it had a mildly unpleasant smell sometimes.
Lame.
so, better then
Also contributes a nice cool breeze in this obscene heat
The roommates pay?
If rent costs half because it is haunted, then it costs the same as having a roommate. not much difference
Can't kick out a hunted house.
I need a young priest and an old priest...
Don't the rent will increase
Yeah, if you're living here without paying rent at least help out around the house
I was working construction one winter and living in a house with four other guys. One of the roommates, without asking the rest of us, invited a friend of his to stay in our large walk-in closet. It was supposed to be just for a few days, but he ended up living there for months without paying any rent. One day I came home after work freezing cold and completely covered in mud, and this dude was sitting on the couch in a bathrobe watching TV. I heard the water running upstairs and asked him who was in the shower. He said "Bobby. And I'm next."
He was not next. He moved out that night.
Who do you think is making all these creaks and moans? You think a house just settles on its own?
I'd buy a discount haunted house any day of the week. Just fix any CO or other toxic substance leaks and voila, instant exorcism!
Bought a crappy singlewide trailer on a few acres last year, I've been learning a lot about fixing electrical stuff in trailer houses. And floors. And roofs. And growing food. And raising chickens.
Add a banjo to that and I'm in
Looked at trailers with how cheap they are, then learned there’s a monthly lot rental. 🤦♂️ may as well just buy a cheap house at that point.
Thats why i bought land with a trailer on it. No lot rent but there is a mortgage.
Some lot rent is crazy.
I’ll look into that. Thanks. Yeah saw $700 lot rent, like what the fuck?
Not even just the lot rent. Eventually some pin-dicked investor type is going to buy the place, jack up the rents and kick everybody out. Good luck moving your "mobile" home.
There are some mobile home retailers that will sell you a "land-home package". So you can have a new house on a couple of acres. I almost did that.
Only upper class ghosts can afford to haunt a mansion like that.
The only thing worse than a ghost is an upper class ghost always talking down (haunting down?) to you.
