Half a Million Bucks Will Get You

noway.jpeg This.

Yes, you can live in lovely Bernal Heights, in 2 bed one bath splendor for the bargain basement price of $499,000. Granted, you'll be living in a scary murder house (It's like "Saw"! But smaller!), but, damnit, you'll own a house in San Francisco. Living the dream!

"This is a fixer not for the faint of heart. Needs extensive renovation with plenty of deferred maintenance. This is a tremendous opportunity for handy person or the savvy developer."

Well, this reminds us of something. Oh, yeah. Folks, we know that the hunger to own SF property is all consuming, but, be smart and take a lesson from the Lam/Zhou situation: if you must buy a "Contractor's special," then work with a freakin' contractor, not with a tire jack.

Offer $500K for the lot already cleared. Let the seller worry about the demolition permits.

What was the "scary murder"? I saw no mention of it in the listing.

I don't think a scary murder took place there. He was alluding to it looking like a place where one would have taken place.

I'd like to see this place's floor plan, if it has floors.

Ahhh... a carpenter's dream.

Just wondering, how stable is the foundation? It looks like it is tilted to one side.

That would make a great backdrop for a horror flick.

A hot glue gun and some upholstery fringe would work wonders on its facade.

Bedazzle it! No one will notice the tilt to the floors.

Hot glue gun? I'd say, duct tape!

I keep expecting it start chanting "dead by dawn! dead by dawn!"

The asbestos siding seals the deal for me, where do I sign?

It kinda looks like a sad owl.

Gimme a bulldozer and a bigass dumpster and I'd build a split level teepee on the lot.

Akit: More like John Carpenter's Dream.

Kinda creepy but nothing a bulldozer cant fix.
