<prompt> Human: Odd situation,But the small rural southern town I grew up in,has collapsed.The economy and the sole producer of jobs is terrible and not much is left there. A fairly large house that I remember looking at all the time across from my old middle school is for sale.I was randomly creeping on Zillow and I saw it was posted for 19,000.I used to think such rich folks lived there and it used to be a good neighborhood.Its a two story 32 in the dead center of town and needs some serious updating on the interior.I kinda want to buy it.I make decent money, live in DC and have a real house there already that I usually rent out. I travel for work and pull about 95,000 a year.I have zero debt and about 60 in savings.I want to have my parents who used to fix up houses and live about 15 mins away from this potential place , work on the house which they would be willing to do.I know that its not going to flip and make me rich but I truly dont think it can go down any lower ha.Also if I hold onto it and pay 10 years worth of WV taxes 100 a year I could always try to sell it in the future.Thoughts from the group mind?  <response>: Have you seen the movie The Money Pit with Tom Hanks? In all seriousness though do a lot of research first as there is probably a reason it is selling so low.
