- This House Has Been Abandoned And Deserted For Over 14 Years And He Bought It For $6k!
My buddy Caleb invited me to see what he just bought at Monday's Property Tax Auction. He bought an abandoned home for a mere $6,200! This deserted property is complete with a 1400 sq ft home, 1.16 acres of land, detached 2 car garage, and 2 backyard sheds. The house, garage, and sheds are packed full of deserted and forgotten belongings in which he likely will be able to make the majority of his investment back selling!
This is such a steal! Congrats to Caleb for playing the game of life the right way! I'll be dipping my toes into this line of work next year.

I want to!!
If you'll stay in a haunted house all by yourself and record it, I will subscribe to your channel! I promise!

Kinda impressed that no one broke in and stole stuff after 14 years.
Follow some of the European videos people do on abandoned places. The stuff is left after many years. Surprising the electric and water is still on like France.
The country keeps it on in case the person can't pay the bill, so a person will not have to do without. They do not know when a person dies necessarily. So they stay on. You could live in one of them places no problem. I wonder why people do not move in and claim adverse possession. You live in a place for 7 plus years and you can own it, you have to have kept it up and payed the taxes on the place.
Wish I would have known it when I lived in England. I would have found a nice place to live. Here in the US there are many too. I would find out what happened and why it is abandoned, when was the taxes paid last and by whom.
If things are clear, move in. If you look for relatives and can't find any there you go.
KoenTalks my exact thought! Maybe too scared of snakes.
They broke in and left stuff.
Me too!
The anxiety from watching you open things and praying something doesn’t jump out 😵😵🤢🤢
Was saying the samething
Shoot, I was waiting for something to jump out. lol
Thinking the same thing and that's kinda frightening..🤐🤐
You need to wear some flip flops and make it real interesting... Lol
I have OCD so the thought of cleaning this out makes me very happy.
I think you definitely should stay out there one night either alone or with one of your buddies! Please do that!
Hopefully Caleb documents his clean up journey, I, for one, would follow his progress. I love this sorta stuff!
Me too
You should do a before and after
Agreed!
Does he have a channel we could watch that on?
Yes! I’d definitely watch it!
Loved the video. Please give us an update when it's cleaned up and cleaned out!! 😊😊
This was how I managed to finally own a house. Bought a 17yr abandoned house for $100k cash. 2,100 sqft on 20 acres. Takes some dedication but it will be beautiful once I’m finished this fall.
Good for Caleb, he hit the pot of gold on this one ! Pays to have, and be, a good friend !
Would love to see more on this one !
First thing i would do would be make a pile of all the paperwork and have a huge bonfire!!! I would rip that carpet up also, not even try to steam clean it. He got a hell of a deal! That is awesome!! Lot of work, but it will be well worth it ❤️ Congrats to Caleb!
Those door knobs are Vintage Ruth Richmond Weiser Lucite Acrylic Golden Flake Ball Door Knob. They are 70 dollars for a set of 6! Cool...
My uncle bought a place on a lake in Florida for almost 9000.00. Over the years, fixed it. Last I heard, it sold for a quarter million. Patience and time
My mom used to own a house in the California redwoods back in the mid-1960's. Kind of a dumpy shack and it was only like $10 grand. There was nothing there back then. The house still stands today amidst an entire neighborhood, more fixed up, and it just sold for $560,000. Places that were once desolate are now primo estate houses for the rich and they pay any price.
Jackpot. I just died seeing the corning ware and nesting bowls. I could so see myself living there.
I cleaned out a house a while back. Leave no stone unturned because you will find things when you least expect it in weird places
You guys should wear respirators when you go into any old abandoned properties.
that's for sure, it could be cursed.
Places like that where I'm from usually were owned by an elderly couple that had no family or the family didn't care 😢 Would LOVE to watch him go through everything !
He needs to make sure that he checks clothing and books, basically everything really closely because elderly people were always hiding their cash in their homes. Good luck with cleaning everything up!! Where gloves and masks at all times. Especially since there is a bad mouse and /or rat infestation.
Have a wonderful and blessed time with your new adventure!!! :)
The snakes will take care of the rodents. Snakes are beneficial dont hurt them
His friend is a woos, and I am an 80 year woman.
Nice home. Would be fun to clean up
Make sure to check books, and bibles. After our grandma died, we found cash in the pages, and sock drawers can hold valuables, and cash too.
They may not have just up and left ... they may have died or "relocated" to a nursing home. Google their names from one of the bills. See if you find an obit.
Right! I hate seeing this type of thing. Those were people’s memories and keepsakes.
I was thinking the same thing. He/she, was already a widow(er) went to the hospital and didn't make it. They either didn't have family or the family didn't make time to come clean out the house.
Fumigation required
@@nieceypiecey100 I totally agree😢
This is exactly what happens, I just went through it with my parent dying and the other one going into hospice with two months. Their house was packed. It’s a lot for families to handle. We were considering grabbing the most valuable things and just leaving it. We did take anything of significant value and then donated or trashed everything else. It took five 10 hour days with three of us to finish the house and packed garage
Wow he has a collection of items, through the house there are so many things he did well, he has so much inventory inside the house.
It was a great find I bought a house and an acre and a quarter with a 3 bed room 2 bath and 2 living rooms and two out buildings for under $25,000 paid cash for it now it's worth 3x's from when I bought it but the property taxes are just under $100 a year why would I move? No morgage not rent just bills and the property tax it's total electric btw and a well for water so how awesome is that?
I am gona start getting into that
I’m 20 & just bought a place in Arkansas (im from Louisiana) & i couldn’t be more excited!! paid $6500 in cash!!
Leorio San sounds like the ghetto
You are lyeing
Most houses are 30 k and up
Ya this was not abandoned for *14*
Years
Wish we could see the restoration of this property!! 2 sheds a garage cellar and a home on 1 acre with a creek couldn't ask for anything more mice probably ruined the wiring but still a good buy!!
Even if they had to get a new trailer to put on the land the fact you have 1 acre is still worth it no matter what state you are in
Mice didn’t ruin the wiring lmao
@@dirkdiggler9379 lovetheattituderickhofffr.danzigandme
100% elderly couple. The way all papers are bagged in ziplock, everything filed away, everything saved, the microwave in the bedroom and the wheelchair ramps. All suggests an aging couple with limited mobility. The brand new Magic Bullets were likely to make nutritional drinks after losing the ability to eat solid food, and the heater was likely because the furnace in the mobile home was not strong enough to keep them warm. The things arrived in the mail after the couple left and the family just stuffed them in the bedroom and they never got used at all. Just delivered and then left to rot.
He definitely has his work ahead of him . so glad that u guys are being respectful of their photos.
Would love to see an update on this if a video is made of the transformation..love it
How sad 😔....somebody’s life left behind and NOBODY CARES 😭😭😭😭😭
Eric Wellman ....yes so very true...it is what it is....but still think it sad that NOBODY CARED...
What really matter is our soul because it’s eternal, everything else is just things that are temporary. Jesus is coming back soon, therefore, repent of your sins and trust in Him for your SALVATION from hell.
@@elizabethbadior9966 I agree😢
Probably forwarded on without any family
@@wjdc893 One day after Judgement some of us will get our perminate avatar bodies that never get ill, wear out or die along with our own little paradise. We have been willing in this reincarnation game and the outcome is what I mention. Depends on what the circumstances are. Some people may go back to Source where our spirit comes from and some may go onto other dementions. I don't feel us regular people will be locked away in the bottomless pit only those who have crimes against humanity. If they are still in a body, it will be thrown in the lake of fire, then the spirit will be imprisioned in the bottomless dark cold pit for a long time.
With in 4 years with the age of Aquarius Nigishzidda/Jesus and Lord Enki/God will be returning. Things are getting really odd out here now. Look for more crazy behavior. We are lucky to experience all this. Once in a life time stuff.
Love what he’s gotten can’t wait to see what it looks like when he does it up and it’s clean out
I was dying for you to open the fridge and freezer in the garage...like holding my breath wondering if you were going to pass it up LOL
Please do an update on your friend's property. Did he clean it out, sell off the stuff, and flip it? Inquiring minds wants to know.
Rat snakes = good! Not only eat the varments, but keep the rattlers away too. Y'all need to catch a few and throw them in that house. They'll take care of the rodent problem😁🐀🐍
Get a couple feral cats and toss them inside to get rid of the mice. Works every time.
ABSOLUTELY!!! That always drives me nuts! People always kill any snake they see without trying to find out what kind it is. Rat snakes and king snakes and a few others eat rats, mice, etc, they also eat water moccasins ,rattle snakes, etc! Rats and mice not only cause massive property damage. They also carry very nasty diseases! Google Black Death and bubonic plague just to name a few. Oh and FYI those cute little green snakes and garter snakes will do a massive clean up of all those gross slugs eating your garden ! But wait there’s more. If you still want to “get rid” of snakes on your property get a few pigs and turn them loose. They will hunt down and eat snakes. But then you’ve got a bigger problem feral hogs !!!!! In conclusion LEAVE THE RAT SNAKES ALONE !!!!
@@TheJer1963 The problem with using feral cats...they'll piss and shit on everything. Cat urine is one of the hardest smells to get out of a house because it soaks into the floor and wall framing...js
NEVER KILL A RAT SNAKE.
I'd demo the house and build a new one, for the price of the land, totally worth it.
Yea or just gut the house and redo everything the house seems like it’s in solid shape over all. Hopefully the foundation is solid too
Nice find tho
The services “ in the lot “ are worth over 3 times the price!
The corning ware cookware! & the sewing patterns. I would love that. Omg & the hanging lamp would NOT, sell it’s amazing. Great conversation piece
It's sad to see someone's life just abandoned and their lives just left
Unfortunately that's life however sad it may seem some people don't have anyone so just get on with it when it's over it's over LIFE'S TOO SHORT TO WORRY
@@Scotts23 In the end its just stuff.....go give your mom, dad, child, gramps a big hug NOW😉👍
Probably an older couple sudden death. Family comes in from out of state and goes through everything quickly and takes what they feel is valuable and leaves the property.
He should really get a new place put on there. They have some really nice double wides that aren’t too bad priced and look just like regular homes (for a fraction of the price and cheaper to redo if a 🌪 comes through)
This is awesome. We've purchased tons of props from the tax auctions and flipped into rentals. My favorite part is the going through all the old stuff, lol. Absolutely great job. I would kill to have had found this one. Score!!!!
My childhood home I got back and found a few trinkets, some antique salt and pepper pig shakers, my mom had the cookie jar. Someone else brought those in.
I have them now.
@@inspire734 excellent!!!
Nothing like a friend that sees something valuable and says I’ll take them off your hands.
I would love to see this all fixed up
I actually held my breathe when you opened the fridge😁
Me too 🤣🤣🤣
So did I. LOL!!
Be interesting to see how this place ends up looking 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Man, I LOVE old houses and a good "DIG" like this one.
NICE!!!
Your friend made a good buy. Lots of work, but could be a nice place . That Pyrex and Corning Ware is a real good find..

Definitely not 14 years. Paperwork from 2009. 11 at most.
@@scottwhipple6456 - When an abandoned house is left and pay no taxes and the bank is not owning it. It takes about 10 years to get to auction stage.
@@scottwhipple6456 I saw that too
Looks like these people were either hoarders or buying things with fake credit cards and then trying to sell them -- something wrong when you leave without family photos etc.
Hellllllllllllllllll nah!
Looks like a older couple that got put in a nursing home and the rest of the family didn't show up to get all the stuff.
This is beautiful with so much potential, it reminds me of my little house I use to live in near the bush, oh how I would love to live here, these days I have to many neighbours close by, lol. Keep us all updated
Yes, you both staying in a haunted place would be awesome!
Awesome mirror hanging in the garage! ❤️
This is awesome!
I want ya to do more videos like this !
Makes me wonder what happened to the folks that lived there .
Definitely do a haunted video. I live for that kind of stuff!
It’s nice to see a house that wasn’t broken into and ransacked and vandalized. We had to move my parents into assisted living. Family visited every day as they moved items to the new apartment and storage, despite that, within two weeks, squatters moved in. Every time the windows they broke for entrance was boarded up, they broke another window to get in. My sister knows that one time when she was there, the squatters were there too, hiding.
I was thinking the same things where do they love with NO crackheada or meth addicts that hpuse would have been invaded squatted and probably burned down in 14 years wherr I am from. Thay is like a time capsule.
I held my breath when you opened the frig! Lol
Anything u dont sale, donate it. Im sure someone will give some of those things a good home. Also i would love to see them transform this home. I have tons of ideas.
Very interesting. I would love to see what he does with the place. And if he finds any cool treasures!
The Pyrex bowl set is money, look it up! Looks like a complete set.
That’s Corning ware... not Pyrex...
It looked like there were only 3. A complete set has 4 and all different primary colors. The two inside don't look to have any color. They might be the set of 2 white with only the large yellow bowl from the primary set.
20 30 bucks. Big deal
Much better than their new stuff. Actually reliable.
Caleb has lotsa work ahead of him but seems like he got a great deal!!!
Real NICE. REDUE INSIDE OUT SIDE LOOKS GREAT SO HAPPY FOR YOU PROPERTY WORTH EVERY BIT ALONE
The guy behind the camera is a crack up. Everything he sees is worth something
Yes stay the night in a spooky place that has a history of being haunted & tell the story of the hauntings on camera as you are spending the night!
You'll be famous before you know it!!!
I can’t help but grieve for the previous home owner
You made a good buy!! Good treasures, looks like the previous owners love to organize things. A nice place to live if throughly deep cleaned!!
I need that yellow Bowl to complete my set
if he sells everything in that house, he's easily made his money back and the some
The whole time I was watching just waiting for a mouse or rat to jump out!! You are both brave
Wow, I would love to watch him clean this place up.
would love to see the before and after, you should document your progress
Please get the history of the house very curious who the owner was.
Frfr
I get the feeling that someone came up with a health issue and it wasn't affordable. Remember, they didn't pay their property taxes. It's unfortunate when people have a health issue and they lose their home. I could tell there was something going on because of the wall being removed. I think someone needed to use a wheelchair.
Awesome video guys thank you. Those rat nests had me skidish & the snake. The country,nice place to visit,been there done that,city life is for me.
Would love to see Calab doing his clean out!!!! This is amazing
Keep the rat snake they keep away rats and such. They aren't poisonous
They are usually pretty chill snakes to
@@Rebelgirl-kv6bd They can be, when left alone. Rat Snakes are one of the most beneficial snakes on this planet. They are not aggressive unless they feel threatened. If you have a snake sharing your property (not inside your home), make it a Rat Snake, or a King Snake. You won't ever regret it.
Seems like this snake is asleep on the job 😂
@@colstace2560 Or he can't keep up with the population 😉
Absolutely love that hanging lamp, has he sold it?????
Look up Moroccan style on ebay if you want something similar. Expect to pay a lot too.
I truly enjoyed this video. It was like going through my parents home. They definitely were an older couple. What a steal!! You’re very lucky!! Now just make sure it’s not haunted!! (Seriously, I would get it blessed and burn some sage)
$6000 hell of a deal!!! Its just like what I grew up in and still live in!! Id love to live there!😎👍
It was definitely an older couple probably died and had no family.
This place has been abandoned for 14 years? How is all that stuff still in the house? I'm really surprised all the windows are not broken out, and the place used as a drug den or something. At the very least, everything stolen out of the house. This place must be well off the map and hidden!
This is a great find. I saw a few things that in my family would have been considered family heirlooms; such as the quilts, belt buckles, that awesome lamp. Other things that surprised me were the desk in the living room, the Pyrex(?) in the kitchen (the ones with the blue designs are worth a lot of money), and many other things. (IF you decide to SELL any of the items ONLINE, PLEASE let me know, there are MANY items there that I would like to BUY, and I know my Mom would--and she loves old pictures for some odd reason. And that garage has a LOT of cool stuff in it.) But, this also makes me sad because it looks like they didn't have anyone who would even want the family pictures. It seems like they didn't have anyone but each other.
This is by far the best video you have done.. wish there were more like it.
Go thru things slowly and don't let someone help you just clean out as you've got some good stuff here. Keep everything until you make a decision what you want to do with it. Be smart. You'll be surprised how many "friends" you have when it comes to a treasurer chest of things. You can probably make enuf money from selling things you don't need and get your house fixed up nice and modern. I'd like to see pictures of this as you clean it up. I'm going to subscribe and see what you are able to do with it.
That mobile home needs to be at least a 1975. That is the year the federal government changed the laws how how they were built.
Do you know what happened to the previous family? Why they just abandoned everything. I think its a great score with lots of potential.
Those dishes in the kitchen counter is Corning Ware. The blue cornflower ones are worth more, but all of those together is a good few thousand dollars worth of no chips. Check them out on ebay!!
Hey, it's always entertaining to watch someone "stay" in a haunted house. Go for it!
Ooo those old Pyrex’s laying out on the kitchen tops!
And the Cornflower Corning Ware.
Angelique Maez Pyrex was originally made in Sunderland UK & there’s loads of old Pyrex in the National Glass Centre here.
Don't know if you noticed the spirit that walked between you and your friend at the time you was asking about the shirts....I replayed it a few times....
If you notice it 23:03 a figure goes across in front of them
Omg your right!!!
I was so tense every time you opened a drawer....waiting for a critter to jump out
The ventilated holding shed creeps me out...Someone should really watch those 100's of tapes in there...This guy really liked to make VHS home movies in that trailer
Looks like he got so much more than his money's worth,
land alone should be worth it.
I would definitely be willing to spend some time there.
The town is taking the loss at auction, so they can get you on property taxes! If the house sit there for years, they make no money. Get it?
@@thepoker2655 That's exactly what I thought.
@@philtorres2975 YUCK!! YOU have to get HIGHER STANDARDS!
Open all the top drawers it’s the best place for goodies
I want that hanging lamp ☺️ your like a kid at Christmas 😂 your so funny I'm happy for your friend.
I'd have to show pictures and ask them to come get their stuff that I didnt want to mess with
The dishes and bowls on the counter take them to antique they are all worth money one with the blue decorations is worth a lot of money be careful this stuff could make your bank account bigger.
What about the yellow bowls that he called nesting bowls? I have those. I also have the kind with the different colored vegetables and so does my grandma.
Go thru everything and look for money.
I was thinking the same thing.
If that guy only knew what he had.. He got the place for free if he knows how to use ebay.
@@chosenBYpicasso exactly what i was thinking. Sell some stuff and the place would be free.
Right! after my husbands grandma passed they found a good chunk of cash she had hidden in all sorts of places!
Awesome! Such a great find!
Man that's a gold mine. Definatly would have a field day with this place! Would love to see you guy's to stay the night in a HAUNTED HOUSE. OOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOVE IT
Took that wall out to make it handicapped accessible.
He'll make his money back on selling the items
Thank you would enjoy the heck out of it!
A beautiful property...
Alot of work to check over everything in house...
Most likely have things of value...
That Corning Ware L’Echalote pattern casserole dish in the kitchen is worth possibly thousands for that 1 piece. You might be able to make your money back with just what’s on that kitchen counter. All of those are collectible.
If it's been abandoned for 14 years then why at 4:07 is there a document dated in 2009? Seems like it hasn't been abandoned as long as one might think.
Welcome to UA-cam.
Good eye. Lol im sure someone stole all the goods before going to the market
Im sure they had guns, jewelry, and etc.
Whoever that place belonged to sure put a lot of money & work & love into it!!
We've been restoring a property that we bought which was abandoned for five years. Big job!
you guys spending the night out there would probably the like that Blair Witch video
One or both has to live out there some time or another. If not, then why did he purchase the property? Why was it abandoned for 14 years, and no buyer anyway?
Rat snakes are your friends. Well, unless you're a rat, a Copperhead or Rattlesnake.
That is the type of property I would love having. Awesome for your friend 👍
