This house will never sell for that price and location. It will end up being bought by a realtor for 1/5th asking price at auction. They do it all the time. Those auctions are rigged AF.

This house sits on multiple lots, can't be separated. Has house built behind existing house, Zoning violation. He took money for insurance work then work was NEVER done. Didn't pay contractors, leans on property. Taxes owed on ALL 7 properties it sits on. Can not move in until ALL zoning violations are taken care of. Multiple city hookups, CANNOT be put on one account. Has multiple law suits and leans filed on property by neighbors. House is being sold to settle court judgement. How do I know this?

I was Caretaker for a property like this. The owner lived in another house in another country. I only met him once. Nobody lived in it for 7 years, except the Caretakers who were paid to live in it. It was a monstrosity with a leaky roof.
@@jitulvslife03 It took a large crew to fix the roof. The leak occurred because one large section of the building had separated from another. There were 3 sections, each one of which could contain 12 appartements. It was a gigantic mansion.
Only $1.3M for a huge property with 5 structures? Look at real estate in Vancouver BC lol, $1.3M will get you a 2000sqft semi-detached house on a 4000sqft lot.
It's in Indiana that's why. If it was in a major metropolitan hub it would be millions more just for the lot, forget about the tasteless home. No takers for million dollar price tag . . . But someone will score it eventually.
Our house was built in 1964 and when we bought it in 2009 it still looked like 1964 inside and out. However, that's specifically what we were looking for because we're eccentric and we collect vintage decor and furniture. Our things would look ridiculous in a modern/renovated home. You can always sell a house, just gotta wait for the right buyer.
Its very likely grandfathered in. If you talk to the permit board and pay all the necessary fees they may allow it depending on the neighborhood. I mean its better than a vacant property, that stuff is terrible.
I do not understand all the negative comments. The house is Beautiful. I do not care for the rocks and the Dolphin at the front of the house but the inside is very Artistic and Beautiful. Not as boring as your regular everyday build.
Yeah, and I kinda suspect the house was unsellable ONLY on the show, i.e. "unsell-ability" is a major plot element every property show. In addition the house was easily photographed, had memorable shape, a great view, and the decor allowed show's principals to drone on about supposedly awful 1980s style (nevermind that '80s furniture and decor is presently dethroning mid-century modern as most fashionable (and expensive) interior elements). In reality, put that house on the market at right time of year, at proper price, it would get snatched up within two weeks.
@@DaneAraux probably selling it for so cheap as they don't live in it and have to deal with property taxes. It can be rented out, but renovations would be costly and a risky investment.
The interior detail is strange, yes. However, it’s not to bad and the price is rather good. Just put in some changes and it’ll be a nice house. The architecture isn’t too bad. Hell I’d buy it!
No because markets are so hot we only really have 2 major cities Toronto and Vancouver. So properties are very expensive. 1.29 million is literally a normal house under 2.5k square feet depending on area. People move about almost 100 miles out of the city to get a normal cost on a house.
Ablaikhan Bennett Even in outlying areas, of Toronto and Vancouver, the homes are ridiculously expensive. You can't get a house for less than $410,000. You can buy an apartment or condo but legit, no homes, other than dilapidated buildings.
As a family man I cannot understand why ANYONE would want to sell their homes that were constructed especially for them? If I build a house I am not selling it.
Elena Arman-Tang a contractor could buy it, hit it for scrap, build 100 houses on the property and still not make their money back. The only cure is a torch.
I know! Like a bunch of posters above, I like in California and I was stunned at the low price. (And no, I'm not being sarcastic). Forget the structure... just the dirt (land) alone would be worth more than that in a lot of places here.
Visit some of Liberace's houses. I've toured one and couldn't believe how hideous it looked. I seriously think he had an army of interior designers who wouldn't agree on what to do so he let them design each room....
The house in 3:38 is very similar to that used in Eve & Alica keys gangster lovin. It's design was cool at the time. Most old masions are tough to sell.
"keep it simple" Fuck that, if I had the kind of money to design and build my own luxury home, I'd do it my own way. I wouldn't build it in the first place if I didn't think I could afford to keep the damn thing. It's all gotta be built from stone bricks, with detailed 19th century stone masonry, hand carved wooden paneled rooms, and have an overall aristocratic/ old world feel to it.
So true. My parents once were house hunting and RAN from a house the real estate agent showed them. It was absolutely hideous: dozens and dozens of animal heads on the walls. The wood was just u g l y: the color and grain looked bad. The carpet was just as tacky. I would never go fancy, not even a bit. True, some wouldn't like seeing blank white and gray walls but it'll save money too. I also don't understand why people buy the weirdest, craziest carpet designs. I seriously think the designers were drunk when they had the carpets done in some houses I've seen. And the houses I saw were wayyyyy above $400k!
LaRaikaa I like that though of pre 1930s aka pre flapper and modernism construction and architecture style. I'm not into Frank Lloyd Wright ideals of post 1955 those are a turn off to me
I feel bad for the real estate agent guy. You can tell he's a pretty nice dude, but he's been tasked with selling this piece of shit. He knows its trash, but has to put on a smile and try to put it in a good light.
MrStaton352 I never said anything about black folk! After living within rocks through distance of three NFL players for over 15 years. I made the comment that someone from the NFL would probably like it. Maybe we could turn it into a halfway house for people coming from prison. Maybe a homeless shelter for American veterans.
That dining room would make me PUKE!!! The homes here in Santa Fe are some of thee most beautiful in the world... "Asian orient themed with a hint of circus mirrors" is just about the worst thing I could imagine!!
Honestly, I doubt if you could get that much out of it. It would cost a fortune to redo or even take down and resell the property. Its a money loser no matter what....unless you are as whacked as the former owner and actually like that mess.....
The convicted pimp had a three bedroom, one level home. Then he started a construction business. As he made money he had his crew add a room or wing here and there. The end result is several tons of concrete, ugly tile, and cheap finishes. He died. So the family tried to off load the monstrosity with a huge price based on the square footage. I'm sure, it'll sell for under a half million if it hasn't already. Then another idiot will deconstruct and reconstruct several areas/rooms to suit his or her wants. The best thing to do is buy the neighbors homes, build them up to a similar size, and sell them. This will raise the property values in this neighborhood. Soon most of the homes would be bought, second floors and winds added, and sold for over a million. The area would become know as millionaires row. As it is now, the neighboring homes are worth less because of this one lump of concrete.
Former pimp explains it all, you would need to find someone rich with zero taste to buy this place. Hmmmm someone comes to mind but he’s in a different house for a few years.
Brazos Forager Actually the house was built without railings. Original owner didn't want any. Realtors actually added the railings inside and out so that potential buyers wouldn't feel like they were going to fall off.
i love in a house that’s almost 300 years old, has almost no insulation, probably one of the worst floor plans you’ve ever seen, and is full of mold. i truly doubted anyone would ever buy my house, but after seeing this, i have hope
As someone who lives in Asia, I can tell you that looks like a typical wealthy Chinese owned and designed house. They would gobble that tacky thing up!

No because markets are so hot we only really have 2 major cities Toronto and Vancouver. So properties are very expensive. 1.29 million is literally a normal house under 2.5k square feet depending on area. People move about almost 100 miles out of the city to get a normal cost on a house.
Ablaikhan Bennett Even in outlying areas, of Toronto and Vancouver, the homes are ridiculously expensive. You can't get a house for less than $410,000. You can buy an apartment or condo but legit, no homes, other than dilapidated buildings.
In Toronto 1.3 million gets you a one-bedroom apartment can't believe how cheap real estate is in other places
Holy fk
@@mogotrevo houses regularly go for 6 700k over asking price
I can't afford a $150,000 condo where I live while people in Toronto have to deal with much higher prices.
who wants to live in Toronto?
@@JD-zd8tm it's the third most populated city in North America so a few people I guess
I liked the boat shaped house in Bel-Air ... the problem is I just don’t have millions of dollars 😞
Tacky and oggly house!
Really represents the personality of the original owner!
Makes you want to get it just so you can fix everything right.
I'd buy it for about $500k. Because I'd be putting another $800k in renovations into it. But, I don't want to live in Indianapolis.
BewareTheIdes How about California? You can have my ugly house for 190k lol
bigmum271 ok then we have a deal then
bob lazuli I'm not joking, I'm really trying to sale my house, you want it you can have it (:
bigmum271 what area ?
That's why you go timeless on decor when constructing house. Just traditional and timeless.
As a family man I cannot understand why ANYONE would want to sell their homes that were constructed especially for them?
If I build a house I am not selling it.
He is dead!
As of the end of 2018 (in 2019 when you'll likely read this), this property is still unsold.
The owner is now renting it for $300/night :)
$300 a night?? Hell to the naw!
I'd drop $300 to spend a night there. Why not
499*
Simple don’t build big houses in normal neighborhoods. Now they just need to drop the price about half and someone will buy it
btvbrndn they need to burn it and someone will buy it
Is a decent size house for 1 million. But it is very out of place. And looks like it should be in a gated community
Jeremy Bulger it looks like it should be knocked down
Code Name definitely! A contractor should buy it, tear it down and build 3 homes similar to the ones in the neighbourhood!
Elena Arman-Tang a contractor could buy it, hit it for scrap, build 100 houses on the property and still not make their money back. The only cure is a torch.
Gated community or pointed and laughed at by all?
@Code Name
Agree. It's UGLY.
4:16 is GORGEOUS!
i like it. It makes most ordinary homes look ordinary. This is unique, fun, and not a cookie cutter house built for everyone.
I dont think they would sell, BUT... they could probably approach movie studios and get paid to use the properties as filming locations.
only 1mil for that mansion? thats cheap compared to where i live.
I know! Like a bunch of posters above, I like in California and I was stunned at the low price. (And no, I'm not being sarcastic). Forget the structure... just the dirt (land) alone would be worth more than that in a lot of places here.
Oops..."live in California", not "like".
Same my neighbors house is $2.5 million. I live in Connecticut.
Right but this is suburban indianapolis in an area where the median house price is 150K. This house is incredibly expensive if you consider that
Yep. My house costs more and it's much smaller.
This mansion is just an 8 year old playing the Sims irl
The camera work is so bad that I can't watch the video.
The epitome of bad taste if you ask me?.
Visit some of Liberace's houses. I've toured one and couldn't believe how hideous it looked. I seriously think he had an army of interior designers who wouldn't agree on what to do so he let them design each room....
That is the tackiest thing I've ever seen!
william harper this is a statement?..
Good taste is a middle-class concept. The very poor and the very rich have garish tastes.
It's a man cave, and strip joint in one. 😄
The house in 3:38 is very similar to that used in Eve & Alica keys gangster lovin. It's design was cool at the time. Most old masions are tough to sell.
Honestly i think these are cool as hell id definitely buy em if i had the money it’s such great character i love the creativity in em
"keep it simple" Fuck that, if I had the kind of money to design and build my own luxury home, I'd do it my own way. I wouldn't build it in the first place if I didn't think I could afford to keep the damn thing. It's all gotta be built from stone bricks, with detailed 19th century stone masonry, hand carved wooden paneled rooms, and have an overall aristocratic/ old world feel to it.
You keep it simple for resale value.
So true. My parents once were house hunting and RAN from a house the real estate agent showed them. It was absolutely hideous: dozens and dozens of animal heads on the walls. The wood was just u g l y: the color and grain looked bad. The carpet was just as tacky. I would never go fancy, not even a bit. True, some wouldn't like seeing blank white and gray walls but it'll save money too. I also don't understand why people buy the weirdest, craziest carpet designs. I seriously think the designers were drunk when they had the carpets done in some houses I've seen. And the houses I saw were wayyyyy above $400k!
Money has this funny thing about coming and going, be careful about thinking it will always be there.
LaRaikaa lol then be prepared to have some one never buy you house
LaRaikaa I like that though of pre 1930s aka pre flapper and modernism construction and architecture style. I'm not into Frank Lloyd Wright ideals of post 1955 those are a turn off to me
Some people are so poor all they have is money
I'll take that
i like money
@@EnergeticWaves But does money love you, hun?
i think so, i have everything i want
Exactly.
This agent tries soo hard to not say something bad and to turn everything into something good bless him
I feel bad for the real estate agent guy. You can tell he's a pretty nice dude, but he's been tasked with selling this piece of shit. He knows its trash, but has to put on a smile and try to put it in a good light.
I’m sure somebody from the NFL would love to live there
My first thought was that it was the brainchild of a football player.
I was thinking Detroit Lions perhaps somebody from the Miami Dolphins would like it. Snicker snicker.
Nope sorry. Can't put this one on the "dumb black athletes." The owner was white.
MrStaton352 I never said anything about black folk! After living within rocks through distance of three NFL players for over 15 years. I made the comment that someone from the NFL would probably like it. Maybe we could turn it into a halfway house for people coming from prison. Maybe a homeless shelter for American veterans.
The owner was a millionaire pimp. That's like the black CEO.
More proof that $$$ can't buy taste.
spinalcrackerbox biggest debate for years
It’s an old pimps house this is so cool I’ve seen it twice in person
update us who bought the house, or is a landmark already?
The house was still on the market in 2017 for 1,750,000
@@MrNecryptic I thought the scumbag died.

The boat house looks awesome!
That dining room would make me PUKE!!! The homes here in Santa Fe are some of thee most beautiful in the world... "Asian orient themed with a hint of circus mirrors" is just about the worst thing I could imagine!!
ahhh and all paid for by the hardworking whores of indianappolis.... Perfect!
lol. if you turn that into a walk in closet it would be interesting and more sensible?
I'm pretty sure that someone, somewhere finds the homes in Santa Fe to be butt-ugly...
What??? That’s an amazing house!! It’s beautiful!!! I’d buy it in a heartbeat :(
(the first one lol)
I’m stunned. I sold my house 5 years ago. For $1.2! It was a track house in San Jose that was 48 years old.
$1,2000,000.00 would buy a fixer-upper home where I live. Some people
have more money than taste...this house is grotesque!
1'2000'000? That isn't even a number.
You probably meant 12.000.000 or 1.200.000. You can actually find accounting classes for $30 on Udemy. Something to consider ?
Maybe the owner was related to Liberace... :D
Jeanne90275 $1,295,000.
Where do you live, Vancouver, Toronto, San Francisco or something?? Most places houses are much cheaper.
Sell it for $799.99
trevor welch Fuck that! I ain't paying no more than $59.99.
$1.00 is the min for me.
Honestly, I doubt if you could get that much out of it. It would cost a fortune to redo or even take down and resell the property. Its a money loser no matter what....unless you are as whacked as the former owner and actually like that mess.....
Wait...why is there a mansion plopped in the middle of a bunch of more modest inexpensive homes?
The convicted pimp had a three bedroom, one level home. Then he started a construction business. As he made money he had his crew add a room or wing here and there. The end result is several tons of concrete, ugly tile, and cheap finishes. He died. So the family tried to off load the monstrosity with a huge price based on the square footage. I'm sure, it'll sell for under a half million if it hasn't already. Then another idiot will deconstruct and reconstruct several areas/rooms to suit his or her wants.
The best thing to do is buy the neighbors homes, build them up to a similar size, and sell them. This will raise the property values in this neighborhood. Soon most of the homes would be bought, second floors and winds added, and sold for over a million. The area would become know as millionaires row. As it is now, the neighboring homes are worth less because of this one lump of concrete.
@@J.Cameron.Stuart.Adams. yep
6:53 the guy sees he’s having an interview and walks away
Good eye!
Former pimp explains it all, you would need to find someone rich with zero taste to buy this place. Hmmmm someone comes to mind but he’s in a different house for a few years.
Lol lol lol
arent you obsessed. Trump's little finger is richer than you.
got millions from his father by the time he was 20. that helps
@@LurkMe
Mar y Lago?
I think you're talking about yourself but I don't know if you're rich. But you clearly have zero taste
When you see the former owner is a pimp why bother even touring. I wouldn't touch the railing on the stairs if the stairs had railing!
Brazos Forager so count you out for a tour of the Playboy Mansion in LA
He hadn't done that for a living for years. He was just an eccentric man.
Karen Koe eccentric parasite
He learned from his mistakes. Never got caught again!
Brazos Forager Actually the house was built without railings. Original owner didn't want any. Realtors actually added the railings inside and out so that potential buyers wouldn't feel like they were going to fall off.
i love in a house that’s almost 300 years old, has almost no insulation, probably one of the worst floor plans you’ve ever seen, and is full of mold. i truly doubted anyone would ever buy my house, but after seeing this, i have hope
1:00 Looked it up on Zillow. It's still for sale.
Everything came together when they mentioned the guy who build it was a Pimp 😂 it explains a lot
As someone who lives in Asia, I can tell you that looks like a typical wealthy Chinese owned and designed house. They would gobble that tacky thing up!
I liked the one in indy i would live there
Gotta love your realtor!
