I was offered a 50 million dollar mansion with 25 acres for 150k, catch was the property assessment and back taxes, tax on it was like 90k a year. Belonged to a drug kingpin that got busted. Saw some other good deals, property haunted. Other issues, old places got asbestos issues, lead pipes, rotten wood, leaky ceiling, can’t change too much if Historical buildings, all sorts of restrictions, there is a reason why it is selling so cheap lol.

There's always kilotons of strings attached! Not to mention, ye olde mansion is bound to bankrupt you unless you already make an income of 100 grand plus or you're planning to use at least part of the property to make an income that can sustain the costs of upkeep. You know what they say ''If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!!''

@@jackesioto Saw a property selling 10 bucks. Catch was it was a historical building. You had to move it. Owner wanted you to pay him and move the property so that he could build a new one. Couldn’t demolish it cuz of its historical designation. Imagine the costs. Lifting it onto blocks, Cutting it so you put it onto a heavy load trailer then transporting it to a new site. You could build 2 homes with what it would cost, just to move it.

When it comes to cheap houses the township can REQUIRE you to immediately forfeit a deposit of 10s or 100s of thousands until HEAVY safety repairs are complete meaning the REAL price to buy it is no where near the listing price.... and of course proterty taxes end up costing you more than home in just a few years. Illinois did this to a lot of normal houses, sold them cheap but put a high tax on them so you are basically paying RENT, REALTOR FEES, ALL UTILITY/LANDSCAPING, AND MAINTENANCE after you pay off your small mortgage for a small size house in a crappy area. Who is dumb enough to buy that and not just rent a home? Especially when it was just miles from indiana border in suburbs like park forest. Illinois would rather hoard those houses with no owners while they rot away instead of let people buy them all up and start paying lower taxes on them all asap.

While historic mansions, palaces and castles may seem like a bargain when they're on the market for less than a million, those historic properties tend to be money pits! Maintenance and likely repairs are likely to break you financially. Historic mansions and castles tend to be financial black holes. just sucking thousands of dollars plus per month to maintain and unless the place is habitable and up to code, hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars, pounds or euros to repair! The repairs are likely to be the extremely high end as historic restrictions tend to require the use of original materials and craftsmanship (It's likely not something you'll be allowed to do the standard repairs and restorations like you would fixing up a cookie cutter tract house). Unless you already have tens of millions in the bank and or plan to use the estate as an income producing property, it's probably not sustainable in the long run. That said, if you can afford the repairs and upkeep, there's multiple rewards, not least of which is owning a piece of history and the chance to live like nobility or even royalty!!
