It’s a $168,000 house.  Math matters.

@kevinwake8789

$18,000 House. Guess your forgetting about  the $150,000 construction loan lol.

@hectoralejandro9883

Wow, Betsy turned an $18k house into a $38k house. And it only took $150,000

Real estate rule #1: location matters. 

If you buy a house in a $10,000 neighborhood, you will never sell it for $160,000. Ever.

@SSOPaints

As much as I love you hyping up this city, I grew up here . The Victorian houses are in a neighborhood with lots of crime and drug traffic . The harbor is nice but the majority of the city isn’t safe after sundown .

“It’s located on the Ohio…” 
Well I’m good, I’ll keep looking 😂😂

@a_girl_has_a_name

Believe it or not, some people buy homes so they can live in them - not for their resale value.

@dalededen

If she took out a $150,000 loan, it’s not an $18,000 house.

@CascaEternalWarrior

Without good jobs, good schools, retail, social centers and a fulfilling lifestyle, real estate prices plummet. Enjoy the river.

It’s turned into a $160,000 house in a $10,000 neighborhood.  😢

@dropoutandretireearly1781

The problem is that she paid a total of $168,000 for a house that might be worth maybe $50,000 in a city like that where there's no jobs.

@jodrew1845

My brother had a girlfriend who grew up in that town.  It was one of those places that young people wanted to escape from.  It would be interesting, if Wheeling developed a 21st century renaissance,, of young people  escaping overly priced urban areas...  Simply amazing!

@daebak_hana

It's west Virginia so.... hard pass

@madalynmull1681

We live just outside of Wheeling. It's a dying city. Overwhelmed with drugs, homelessness, trafficking, and crime. You could not pay me to live in downtown Wheeling (where this house is). It is also a very impoverished area. Unless you are a nurse or a coal miner you definitely aren't affording an $18,000 let alone a construction loan to make it livable.
