10 Mansions No One Wants To Buy For Any Price 

People who have visited my house always say that my house is haunted but I haven't encountered anything strange since I moved in 267 years ago.

That Aubrey Lewis House sounded fishy. It has historical significance therefore couldn’t be moved more than a quarter mile but the city allowed for it to be demolished? Wtf? You can’t move it but they can destroy it? That is so disrespectful, and sounds like an incomplete story.

Impressive video. I started a bit late (graduated from my doctorate program at age 30 in 2016 with 170k in school loan debt). Managed to pay off my debt by 2019 and currently have a house and 250k total in investments (combo of profit share, 401k and a brokerage account). I'm not very knowledgeable in investing, so I just have my investing currently in index funds mainly voo, but have been putting a lot into schd the past few months. I dunno if that's the optimal strategy, but psychologically it is very set it and forget it, and prevents me from obsessing over individual stock performance.

“Besides, who wouldn’t want to live next to a cemetery. At least the neighbors are quiet.. usually.” I dieeed 😂 😂 😂

Why don’t they use these houses as homeless shelters. Let the homeless have somewhere to sleep especially on cold rainy nights

As long as it’s haunted by ghosts and not demons it’s fine lol

From 2010-2012 I found 3-4 old but really nice neighborhoods in Detroit, 50-85% of the homes were abandoned and disrepair. The houses were selling for as little as $25k. Looks like suckers are paying $400k-500k for them now lol

I would definitely live in a haunted house for $1, especially in todays housing market. Just the timeframe of the repairs they would ask for would probably be insane, on my budget i would have to take it one room at a time.

The Addams Family: "Haunted house? New family vacation home"

"Hi, yes, Im in the market for a mansion... but my budget is very limited." *counts coins*

I love how one of the "haunted houses" became a staged haunted house. Makes me think it wasn't really haunted to begin with.. xD

3 years ago, I came across an "auction" in a courtroom, of an old very very big villa, more like a castle, in a little village in Germany. It had a park around it, there were 5 more buildings, old stables, barns and so on, and the price for the whole lot was 1€. But .... the renovation price was around 1 mio €. Nobody bought it, the courtroom was empty.

Cheap buying prices, astronomical property taxes most likely

You’re telling me a house was $10 and I didn’t know about it and now it’s gone😡

Just an example, but the last house I looked at like these that was selling for $1 was an old mansion in Illinois, wasn't even that bad for renovation needs, but the taxes required were almost $50,000 a year. So unless you can pony up 10s of thousands per year in taxes, that's the real cost on these properties on top of your renovation costs.

The best decision I ever made in my life was investing in financial market. Trust me guys, it pays!😊

I'll take the place nextdoor to the cemetery, I lived next door to one before and never had better nighbours!

I live like 5 minutes away from that first house, and every time we drove past it growing up, I called it my dream house. Nice to know my childhood dream might be a little more attainable than I thought, even if it takes some fixing up

Reading about people grabbing multi-figures monthly as income in investments even in this crazy days in the market,any pointers on how to make substantial progress in earnings?would be appreciated

Quick story time: When I was a few months old my fam lived in a house that was haunted by a family that was slaughtered by the husband. After experiencing knocking, banging, hearing things thrown but not seeing them thrown, screaming, fighting, babies crying (wasn't me, I was asleep), etc, my mother looked up the history of the house. It had said the family was slaughtered in one of the houses on that street, but it wouldn't say which house because of the houses market price. For whatever reason, my brother hated his room, even though it was the master bedroom with a beautiful view.

Addams Family: Look! It even has a view. The view: A civil war graveyard.

I looked into one of those €1 homes in Italy. After talking with the township attorney handling the applications and sales I came to understand the home would cost about $25,000 USD to bring up to spec and be insurable. The view was breathtaking the architectural style was gorgeous and the perks offered by Italy were pretty impressive (massive tax credits and permanent residence and work permits are huge things for an expat). I ultimately decided against it because I would be entirely too far from the medical care i would need to use there

On top of the $50,000 to move the first house and $150,000 to fix it up, you also have to factor in the cost of the empty lot that you'd be putting the house. That's another $50,000 - $100,000 depending on the neighborhood.

I used to live in a demonic house for 10 years. Growling. Cold spots in the back bedroom even in the Summer with the curtains drawn and the sun shining in. Invisible hands grabbing you in your sleep. Doors opening, footsteps running in the hall, having your name whispered in your ear by no one. I think I can handle these homes. Too bad some of these are out of state.

I would just start charging rent to the ghost.... and whom ever doesn't start paying you get an exorcism lol which means kicked out 😉

Right now I am homeless, and I would be more than happy to live in any of those mansions.

It's a shame that Aubrey Lewis house didn't sell, even after being offered $10K to help move it a bit. It seemed like a nice place to live in.

Yep, I saw this video on RU-vid where a guy visits a abandoned mega mansion In Canada. It sits alone on a 41 acre plot next to a lake and has a big wow factor, when seen from a distance. Apparently the very rich owner started this project which was almost completed, but he lost everything in the 2008 recession. His liquidators seized it and they did nothing to secure this unfinished project. From a distance this 5/6 story ultra modern mega mansion looks absolutely breathtaking, until you step inside. This mansion was vandalized, raided by looters, serious water leakage and subsequent mold problem. The asking price is $25 million dollars, but on auction did not get a single offer after reducing the asking price to $150,000.

“Haunted house” just means crazy people have lived there once

A mansion for $10 you know something is wrong with the house

So many so-called "stately homes" in the U.K. are now open to the public, for tours, as wedding & conference venues, etc. It hilarious to see these families, some of whom wouldn't be seen dead among any but the (once) wealthy like themselves, are now forced to play host/hostess to the lower classes. Besides the legal & planning costs, never mind the actual cost of materials & labour to renovate the buildings, the sheer cost of annual upkeep, inheritance taxes, etc., are ridiculous. Even families that once moved in royal circles can't afford to keep their castles & estates as family homes but have had to operate them now as B & B's!

I worked for a guy whose wife fell in love with a late-1800's mansion in New England. She talked him into getting it (against his better judgement). "Needs everything" was a pretty good description. Take any repair on a normal house and multiply by ten- or a hundred. That, and his heating costs mean it takes until the end of August to pay off the previous winter's heating bill. I can't even imagine what his property taxes run- $30K $40K? The last problem with these places is the state always ends up owning them because no one else can afford to.

Those 1£ houses that you have to live in for 5 years. If you can start an online business, this place would be a millennials nirvana.

#4 I live in the area of Liverpool, England, where the city council sold derelict houses for £1. They've been featured on TV series such as "Britain's cheapest streets". They're not in a small town they're in a major city, they'd been empty for about 10 years and needed to be completely re-fitted, costing about £30,000-£50,000 per house. The purchaser was required to complete renovations within a set time period, and could not sell or rent the property for 5 years to stop people from flipping them or just re-selling them without doing any work. Houses in the area now sell for around £90,000

I've lived next to a cemetery for most of my life. I'd buy on of the mansions for a thousand dollars. I'd live in a haunted house in a heartbeat

I am a psychic medium, so purchasing a haunted house, was the least of my worries! I ended up, recently, buying a historical, victorian mansion, that was built in 1904. It is located across 3 lots, and consists of 3 separate structures: the main house is a 3 story, 6 bedroom, 6 bathroom, 7,500 square foot home, with 6 fireplaces, 13 foot ceilings, original oak floors, stunning 11 foot mantles, an original 11 foot by 5 foot stained glass window, featured behind the landing of the main staircase. There is also a 2nd, "maid's staircase", a turret that leads up to a witch's hat, with a widow's walk, inside, on the 3rd floor, and the entire home has been updated with recent amenities, also, including 12 tons of central heat and A/C, controlled by touch-screen thermostats, and separate controls for separate rooms, and floors, of the home, all new electrical and plumbing, beautiful interior walls and ceilings, with crown molding throughout, and beautiful baseboards to match, ceiling fans in every room, wrap around porches on the 1st and 2nd floors, and I even purchased the home, complete with all the original, amazing, one-of-a-kind, antique furniture pieces! The 2nd structure on the property, is a separate, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom back house, with a large, covered porch, brand new flooring throughout, brand new water heater, etc. Lastly, the 3rd separate structure, is the carriage house, which offers unique architecture, including a mini-witch's hat, to match the main house. I moved from California to Southeast Texas, to make this beautiful property into my home. It is just me and my dog, living in this massive home, so it is almost like having our own, little town! I love it!👻❤️👻❤️ For anyone who wants to actually see my home: Here are a few links that will show you the outside, as well as different rooms within the home: m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02BDFTx9oHgRXXkNcsAByW5RJ9KbnVpF8JJkCSrJiuS1XM8gmiFwV21QwmSdRi169sl&id=30601930 m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0Z6P6zaUPhLinEceZz4VTE2vrLX7wuZ9dLaBjFtLjgBXrRS963TwxiwiADWZiV1ZKl&id=30601930&sfnsn=mo m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0XjyA94aD8EF1m97WDaNM3cyqPcJVFSG7SALR6qVdYJXWAJ8LcBEAuAtLUTo22xNzl&id=30601930&sfnsn=mo

During the day doesn’t look scary, but night is something else, 😱

Buy the second place and do a breakfast inn, people would love to stay there

My grandparents lived right down the street from the old Victorian mansion in Gardner, Massachusetts! I remember every week driving or riding my bike by that house wanting to live there.

I want that first house. That outside is so amazing. I wish I had the money for it.

my house is full of spirits, but whenever someone comes over they just say i’m an alcoholic 😪

"You're in the market for a mansion but your budget is limited. Very, very limited.". That just about cracked me up on the floor!

I would absolutely move to an abandoned town to live in a mansion! And as long as the 'ghosts' aren't hallucinations from toxic gas or mold, I'd take a 'haunted' house, too. ;-)

I want the SK Pierce mansion, that looks brilliant with the toned down colors and how beautiful it is!

You wouldn't catch me dead in the Amityville house.

Let me get this straight. The Aubrey Lewis home. It was for sale for 10 dollars. But it had to be moved. Though not more than 1/4 of a mile from the original spot. All because if the historical significance. Yet, instead of allowing someone to move it farther away, they demolished it? City governments at work.

Someone write a book about someone who has no other choice but to spend every last penny they have to move to a small town in Italy. They fix up an old house, making life-long friends along the way, and end up deciding to stay there even when they have enough money to leave.

this is a frightening but informative video. now people will definitely get a history done on every house they intend to purchase or even rent out.

I own a mansion and believe me it is no fun. A full time job to just look after the estate without enough time to restore all the other rooms that need doing. We spend thousands to heat parts but it is still always cold! Always my dream to own one but see now why these places get abandoned...

What never seems to be mentioned is the taxes. Detroit especially. The city sells the houses cheap, because the taxes are really high. Also, you'll have to physically fight the homeless people occupying them. Saw it on a show.

I have been banned from visiting haunted locations. The last house I visited had reportedly 3-2 dozen ghosts and residents said they would hear constant moaning, noises and see walls bleeding. After I visited the house it has remained silent to this day. This has happened on several occasions and ghosts hunters tell me I am ruining their business.

Omg I’d move right into the first home if I could move it . The inside is gorgeous just as it is most people look for homes that are out of date and original hardware just gorgeous

Noticed that all "haunted" properties have real world problems.

I have no issue with living near a cemetery. It's sad, though, all these grand homes, beautiful mansions, and stately edifices all abandoned and unloved. Heartbreaking.

i would love to own any one of these, slapping some solatr panels or specail wind capturing devics, maybe dig up a yard to put in some geo thermal water heater, and so much more. there are so many options i could go with here.

Thanks for the video, do you have something like that 8n Norway?

I’d be like chandler with the haunted ones, “I’ll take it, bad things happen to me anyway.”

I'm an introvert so I would actually repair one of the house if I had a chance 🤷 not the haunted or demonic ones tho.

I'm now totally sold on the SK Pierce Mansion. I definitely need to check it out sometime.

Those houses in Detroit are stunning, been to see them several times. Totally worth fixing up.

This may be a bad financial decision, but id rather budget for a high priced place to live and not have to do anything to it, than $1 to a broke down mansion needing to be fixed from the ground up lol, rather just build a house from scratch if I had to

I'm not scared of "haunted" houses. I would actually love to live in one, if I had the money for renovations. If I were rich though, I'd be buying these old mansions, fixing them up and selling them for millions. I love old architecture.

The second one is literally my dream house, I honestly don't mind the spirits either, what a shame I didn't know about it sooner.

I would definitely love to have !! It's absolutely beautiful, stunning I could handle a little bit of noise and objects moving not afraid of no ghost :)

"Homes nobody wants to buy." Mansion in Kentucky is bought and turned into apartments. Haunted mansion bought by entertainment company turned into tourist trap... Calling B.S. on the title.

HOW DO YOU MOVE A MANSION.

Man I would’ve taken those houses in a heart beat😩

The first one looked great inside! Better than my small home!

You know what I don’t think I’d care about the house being “haunted” that said, I don’t feel very chill about knowing about all the people that died and how/where they died in the house.

I was house shopping with my mother one time and we walked into an old house with creepy vibes and I asked, "mom, are you scared of ghosts?" she replied, "ghosts?! I'm scared of burglars!" lol point taken

The second home is my dream 😍

I’d love to live in these houses.

Basically all of these: houses are cheap, land is expensive.

I will go in there with a priest and pray all over those houses and then I will move that house.

Nice

Cool looking place

The "Hex House" is apart of local history.. visitors weren't being respectful & kept vandalizing it!

I think the pandemic has taught people the importance of multiple streams of income unfortunately having a job doesn't mean security...no rich man or woman made it through salary, investing now will be wise..

I live 15 miles away from the Jordan , MN mansion. Tempting!

I like this.

I could imagine a bunch of witches aka a coven moving into one of these just to cleanse it and then have a mansion

YES YES and YES. Just gimme the deed. I’ll live there

A house that’s $1 or free should be given out to people in need or be made into homeless shelters. They wouldn’t care if it’s out of style or any problems that may come with the house, they’d be happy just to have a roof over their heads or to be somewhere warm. I’ve been homeless in the dead of winter so I know firsthand how it feels to finally be in a warm bed. It’s like heaven!

Get right with God instead, eternal wealth and joy. “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs” (1 Timothy 6:10)

Hell no dealing with the living is hard enough

i really dont understand how "someone died in here" is such a big problem for many.... i live in the apartment my great-grandmother rented for a decade and later died in. even if it wasnt for her, i think there is a high chance that some more died in here in the 50 to 70 years since the building's been built *shrug *

I'm actually very surprised that there are no developer's rushing to scoop these up so they can knock them down & rebuild

Number 3 looks great.

When he's like nobody even wants it for a dollar!?!? I'm here like 🙋‍♂️

If I were only near any of those, I would probably buy one. Why not? It's a bargain!

Omg I want the haunted one in Mass! Not even scared. It’s gorgeous

#8 and #9...would absolutely love. Especially 9...wife loves cemeteries.

NOBODY BECOMES A MILLIONAIRE OR A BILLIONAIRE BY WORKING FOR OTHERS AND DEPENDING ON THEM, GOOD INVESTMENT BRING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, AND CONSISTENCY BRING BILLIONS, THE MARKET IS ALL ABOUT BTC AT THE MOMENT NOW.........

I would love to live in Italy...I’d fix all that up

I remember in the 90s no one wanted to buy the amityville house, so the sellers posted it nationally in the real states papers, and one day I picked up a news paper and there it was for sale, i forget the price but it said the price was reduced, and buy a lot.

I lived in a historic home in Elgin, Il for 3 years. There was a portal in the home. Me and my two children ages (20 and 10 at the time) each of us experienced different things and encounters in the home. It was terrifying. Most of the spirits came to me and I learned that I was the connector to there deceased loved ones. Also the single mom with two very young children under the age of 5 lived on the bottom floor of the home and those spirits were more sinister.

literally watching this to buy myself a place

Those mansions in Detroit are now selling for 600k ⬆️

Would love to see an update of this video, and I can live in any of them if someone covers the fix and my transport...

Some of these homes are likely not being taken due to rebuild requirements. I know the one in North Carolina is going to be heavily influenced by the historic renovation tax credit. Those usually require the exterior and potentially certain rooms to be rebuilt to original aesthetic.
