Couple Buys House For $500. Finds It Torn Down.


You hear stories like this all the time. Some demolition crew tears down the wrong house, someone mistakenly buys the wrong property, and in this case it looks like their new house was demolished after a tax auction.  Regarding the details, I don't really care. I just love this picture. He has the most beaten down look on his face in the history of ever. She has a subtle I'm-Dating-An-Idiot look.

Heck, that $500 is worth the story to tell your friends.  (And it kind of ruins the story to read that the $500 was refunded. Maybe he's just a beaten down guy in general.)

If Rhome had a paid fire department, this could have been prevented.

I wish I had 500 bucks so I could impress some chick by buying her a 500 dollar house. Looks like it was in a great neighborhood too.

He likes like a hipster/poser and I bet he always has that look on his face.

If I lived in Detroit, I think I would have that same thousand yard stare. Not a happy place, in spite of what the Chrysler commercials portray.

I thought Detroit was run by democrats for like the last 40 years. Why are houses so expensive?

Detroit has kept this Country going for years. Pull Detroit made products out of Wise County and watch the cattle market go to shit. I'm sure Detroit would laugh if they saw you hicks from Wise County with your pictures of Rhome, Newark, and New Fairview. I'm sure you people could produce things we need in everyday life and put Wise County on the map.
