All Off Market! 10 Abandoned Houses Under $50K Begging To Be Restored
For many of us, abandoned houses have a haunting beauty. They have a pull on us stronger than an N52 magnet. A house with weathered clapboard, broken shutters and peeling paint seems to beckon us to peer through its windows. I have to admit, back in my younger days unlocked doors were open invitations to investigate the interior of these forlorn buildings, too. Now, more cautious, I would simply like to wave a magic wand and help these abandoned houses that are begging to be restored. Here are a few that are currently on the market for under $50K.
