Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What's wrong with this house?

know for a fact that it's 24 months for a credit union . they still have to show examiners that they are making a concerted effort to move the property. with the decline in values, that could take more time. the gov is a little more lenient than had been in the past because of the current housing market.

Thanks, I thought something like that would have to happen.

tn. has seen a dip in house prices and foreclosures but not anywhere near what florida and nevada and other states have seen.

Thee are plenty of empty homes with for sale signs out front in the Pac NW. If I hit the lottery I would be buying like mad.

true. there are some good buys out there.

All it takes is twenty million.

Setting down in the rural (no need to commute) and dry side you could live like a king in a fairy tale land on the VERY cheap.

Probably haunted.

Yes you could. We do a fair job of living pretty good and doing it cheap over on the wetter side too.

FOUND IT. I got to checking some maps. It's either in or bordering an EPA designated wetland. I wouldn't touch that place for any money.

If you're looking for a home to retire to, I would strongly suggest considering a single story. Believe me, those steps get old quicker than you do but your legs won't like them in ten more years or so.

It's in Washington?
Ya better like rain.

One thing I really liked about rural Wa. was the people, lots of nice people.

Wetlands are not bad things. Bordering is not a problem.

Or dryness... please see- EAST of the Cascades.

Depends on where in Washington. We get about 9-10 inches of moisture per YEAR here in the Kittitas Valley.

That silver Lace is pretty country. But you had better think twice about moving there. It not all that far from our place.

OGDEN � You now have a shot at owning an eight-bedroom historic mansion that once belonged to famed gun maker John Browning.

Many are familiar with Ogden's Browning Museum, but the Browning home has not been open to the public. The home on 505 27th Street in Ogden was built by Browning in 1900 and is on the National Register of Historic Sites.

He had a large family, so this Ogden Mansion has eight bedrooms and three bathrooms. It�s 6,700 square feet and still has the original fireplaces and main staircase.

Marc Weaver, Deseret News
An eight-bedroom historic mansion that once belonged to gun maker John Browning is up for sale. The asking price is $350,000. After the Brownings, the YWCA used it as a women's shelter, then a law firm bought it for office space. Ten years ago, the Smith family moved in and made some home improvements.

"We replaced the carpets. We tried to keep it as original as possible, but we did replace some of the furnaces to give it central air and heat," said Stephanie Smith. "We have put up new wallpaper, kind of period-type wallpaper, restored some of the bathrooms that they used as offices, we put a kitchen in."

Now, she said, it's someone else's turn. The Smiths put the home up for sale on KSL Classifieds for the price of $350,000

They're terrible to own because the feds so closely regulate everything you want to do with your own land. There's no shortage of horror stories about people who have lost thousands because the feds decided that they can't use their land. If this is in a wetland, tearing down and rebuilding might be impossible. It just isn't worth the hassle when there are so many other places available.

Besides, it's way too wet for a guy who's lived 60+ years in the high desert. I'd like more green, but I'm not a duck.

Yep. We get in the low 20's here but that is because we sit at the tip of the rain shadow.
