AN, a badly maintained property will sell for less than a well maintained one. So the homeowner or his heir will lose right there.

You won’t be able to tell it was badly maintained if they spend some money to update it (new paint, new roof if needed, new appliances, new landscape).
[quote=briansd1]Since you bought in Mira Mesa, did you add up all the expenses and time of restoring your house? [/quote]
Of course I add up the expenses. It’s part of the budget every month. I don’t consider it as restoring my house but more of upgrading/customizing. My house was livable when I bought it. Even if I buy a $1M house in CV, I would still be doing the same. I have a thing about customizing and I haven’t seen any house that has EVERYTHING I like, not even a $5M house.
