Would you move into a murder house?
About 3-4 blocks from my house, a murder occurred around 2 years ago. According to investigators, a man stabbed his wife and his oldest son to death, left his youngest son to live, and then killed himself. Just makes me sick thinking about it to this day. The poor young boy will be messed up for life.
Anyway, the house went on the market very cheap. 5 bedroom 2 story house with an in ground pool. Went for about 40-45% of it's previous worth.
I asked my wife if she would live there, she said not a chance. Myself, I think I could had it not been a woman and especially a child that was murdered, but for those reasons I could not. If it was some guy that shot another guy I could. But this guy stabbed repeatedly his own family members, just sickening!
Anyway, what about you all, would you do it if it were say.....$5.00?

Not sure.
But along those lines, remember the story about the plane going down with the sports team? They ended up eating human flesh to stay alive. I asked my friend if he could do it. He said, "I wouldn't miss a meal!"

Re: Would you move into a murder house?
shag / berber,
Yes, and did.
The house we bought 5 1/2 years ago and still live in had a horrific crime in it. The original owner was murdered in the master bedroom by one of three teenagers who had broken into the house and were robbing it when he came home.
We bought it from the second owner. They said that the carpet had been replaced in the bedroom, walls painted, etc after the crime but after awhile one day the wife decided to reverse the venetian blinds on one of the bedroom windows and when she did it revealed a lot of blood splatter that had not been cleaned off.
I googled and found some information about the crime including that the teenage murderer is in jail, thank heavens!
BTW - We only found out about the murder after we had made the offer on the house and were there for the inspection. The owners had no legal obligation to tell us since it happened under the previous owner to them but the wife told us. When we left I looked at my wife and said "and that is why you don't leave your wife at home to meet with the prospective buyer!" (her husband was out of town).

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Would you move into a murder house?
I might think about it, but most of it would depend on when the murder had taken place. For $5.00, I would probably do it, and if necessary would draft family and friends to help me get the place ready for occupation.

Re: Would you move into a murder house?
I'd have no issues with it at all. I'd use the fact that it was a murder house to try and get it as cheap as possible though.

I'd have no problem with buying and moving into that house, but I am not sure that I would purposely push hard to profit from such a tragedy.

I would not want to buy it, but I don't have a good reason why.

My family and friends would likely tell me what I could do with my house if I tried to draft them into that....
