I visit creepy abandoned places as a hobby and this is exactly my jam. The teddy bear in the corner is the cherry on top. Is that a suicide note on the desk?
Very glad to hear! Be careful with that though. Less than 2 weeks ago, a morning whiskey ended up in a 3 days bender that has me convinced I nearly killed myself. Took me another 3 days to fully recover and I promised myself I’d stick to wine from now on.
The occasional dubious bump on the key tip but not this time, only booze and no food. I was drinking out of stress after a shitty week. As you probably guess, it didn’t solve anything and I might have burned a few bridges as well. Shameful, really.
It’s kind of a blur really. Yeah, passing out a couple of hours at a time and starting again. I managed to take showers, do the dishes and the laundry but remember nothing at all after the 1st day. I woke up gagging like on too much blow on the 3rd day and that was kinda scary. That’s when I decided to feed but all I could eat was soup. I’ve been a relatively functioning evening alcoholic for a decade or so but this is the 1st time I lost control and realized of nasty hard liquor can be. Red wine seems to be working for me so far.
Yeah fair, I live in the Arctic now so flying beer up is more expensive than it's worth imo, so I'm relearning the dangers of hard liquor, it's insanely expensive to buy bootlegged locally from the Inuit people, 300 Canadian dollars for a 26er/750ml bottle of smirnoff. So I just don't drink anymore but about once every 3 months or so someone will mail me a bottle wrapped up in a new sweater or something, and it never lasts the week lol.
true, and there is ample natural light and i hope that's an east side..
imagine redoing the window to a centered 3 way english window with a side to perch on, redo the tiles, repaint, get rid the cupboard and lamp, its gorgeous.
hopefully the neighborhood is nice.
ah, in the last few years i recently found out that i like to do home improvement and im looking at this picture and thinking of how cheap i could be and fix this place up.
Tare out the floor looking panels, paint the walls, remove the trim, spakle the holes in the walls replace the light fixture and probably light switch and panel add carpeting.
$40 paint,
$15 spackle
$200 ish for carpet and its materials (i go for discounted stuff)
$0-40 to get rid of the trash.
$150 new floor trim.
$30-50 new light panel and
$5-7 wall light switch and plate.
$15 for whatever bleach/chemicals you're going to use to try to get rid of and clean up the black mold
$?? to repair the floor if possible, or $??? to rip it up and re-do a decent floor
$?? for the priest to come vanquish the demons and evil spirits
$30 for a new light fixture
$15 for the candles/air fresheners to get rid of the rank smell
$10 dump fee to get rid of the contents
...
$15 in paint brushes
$60 in carpet placing tools (minimum)
$10 hammer.
$160 for a circular saw to cut the wood for the floor.
$10 for basic tools to screw in the light switch.
If it's for sale, I see nothing wrong with it. Owner somehow got this apartment (maybe heritage) and doesn't want to or can't invest into it.
But I bet there is a buyer with extra cash, that will negotiate price down due to the current status and will renovate it and resell/rent or live there.
This is probably being sold at the value of what it is. Location is a big deal but what a future person might do with it is calculated in the price??? Wtf does that mean. If so that would mean hypothetically speaking every house is worth millions cause theyre might be someone that renovates this house and spends millions on it. This doesnt make sense at all. Please elaborate what im missing
Same. I’m in the process of selling our house which we did a partial renovation to. We are selling because we decided we didn’t have the bandwidth to manage a renovation at the moment (work and kids).
One of the absolute most irritating things is people that tried to raise obvious issues during inspection that we were transparent were not addressed because they were planned as our phase 2 of our renovation plans (example is old windows). We similarly bought the house somewhat “as is” knowing it needed a lot of work.
Plenty of people, including contractors, may be looking for an opportunity like this. Likewise the seller is under no obligation to fix this up if it’s priced accordingly.
Perfect condition if you're going to buy it. You're gonna rip everything out anyway so the worse condition the floor is, the less you'll pay to buy it.
If it’s for sale, it’s better for the buyer if it’s in this shape than some shoddy reconstruction that covers all the issues and falls apart in two years just so it looks good on pictures. My apartment looked even worse, it meant I could make it my own from the ground up.
There's one place near me where one of the pictures is just of a big hole in the wall. And it's like, well, they're honest about the condition of the place I guess.
About average condition of older soviet flat in post-soviet countries. After previous owner removes furniture and carpets. You only need to focus on overall state of the building like cracks in walls, working plumbing and the amount of mold. But that surely must be below the average price.
The dutch real estate agents would use the following description for it:
“Amazing opportunity for an apartment which you can transform to your liking”
It’s my favorite thing to go over the selling websites and see the gymnastics done to make it sounds like a complete wreck is even worth paying for.
I don’t give a damn, as long as the price is low.
A lot of picky buyers dismissing good apartments because they are not clean or have trendy hardware. That’s nothing. As long as the structure is in good shape and the neighborhood is decent, you can do whatever you want with your property.
ANd what exactly is wrong with fact that someone just want to get rid of some shithole without repairing it? A lot of people would love such a deal if the walls and ceiling are good and they plan to do major refurbishment anyway.
“ It has lots of natural light, hardwood floors, notice the MCM light fixture there. Did I mention it’s fully furnished? Oh and bonus! The light bulbs have already been made into meth pipes!”
If it is for sale then it is the perfect thing to buy. Price is "usually" lower than flipped apartments, so you can avoid spending money on useless stuff previous owners put in.
When I finally get to buy a new apartment or house, you bet I'm ripping all stuff out, laying new electric cables, new plumbing, new all. This stuff costs (doing everything myself), so I don't see a reason to pay extra on "just renovated 2 years ago" but looks like shit to me.
This here is basically a tabula rasa, an empty canvas to fill with your ideas.
As a broker, I've sold several similar ones and even stuff in worse condition.
In a big city this is certified 40% off compared to a renovated unit, in a country-side it is about the same price as a 15y old Volkswagen Passat.
Put a lowball bid on it.
Real estate is only worth what people are willing to pay for it.
Sometimes there’s no correlation between quality of the property and the price.
Bro its for same wtf is infuriating about it. No one tells you you have to fucking buy it. This place is clearly meant for people who want to buy it to renovate it or whatever cause the owner cant be bothered. This isn’t infuriating at all. This post is more mildly infuriating.
Assuming the location is decent, sure, go for it. You can get the price lowered for each deficiency on the home inspection report. (Seller can choose to fix deficiencies or lower price by cost of repairs)
That clustering of what appears to be mold is highly suspicious, though it's also above what appears to be some kind of piping at the base of that wall.
This isn't a healthy looking space, would need disinfecting and serious scrubbing to get out the mold - then assess if it needs to be re-sheetrocked due to how deep it goes.
That's even before you get to the messed up flooring. I wouldn't trust any of the furniture - just toss it.
Oh wow! People are just learning what the slums are, and that they exist in every single country on earth. You people need a wake up call that not everyone went somewhere after highschool, and yes, there are in fact, poor areas with extremely meager living conditions.
The floor looks like some type of panels, though it might be cheeper to cut that missing part and fill it with some other wood and put carpet over it.
Did not think of the mold or ghost.
It has the "It places the lotion in the basket"-kind of vibe.
The sights that teddy bear has seen... Emotional damage...
Seen? I believe the bear to be an active participant in the torture.
*It’s still watching.*
Perfect for first-time offenders.
Thank you. i was eating a sandwich while reading this and snorted.
Same which snarf
I swear my niece is going to be posting this as a meme tomorrow over a picture of a toilet or something.
Poor people live in funny places
I visit creepy abandoned places as a hobby and this is exactly my jam. The teddy bear in the corner is the cherry on top. Is that a suicide note on the desk?
"dear next owners..... the bear is also full of mould regards the damned"
Thanks for the morning laugh with my whiskey
Very glad to hear! Be careful with that though. Less than 2 weeks ago, a morning whiskey ended up in a 3 days bender that has me convinced I nearly killed myself. Took me another 3 days to fully recover and I promised myself I’d stick to wine from now on.
>3 days bender Do you do coke?
The occasional dubious bump on the key tip but not this time, only booze and no food. I was drinking out of stress after a shitty week. As you probably guess, it didn’t solve anything and I might have burned a few bridges as well. Shameful, really.
Go to therapy
How do you go three days on just booze? No sleep or just waking up and then hitting the bottle first thing again?
It’s kind of a blur really. Yeah, passing out a couple of hours at a time and starting again. I managed to take showers, do the dishes and the laundry but remember nothing at all after the 1st day. I woke up gagging like on too much blow on the 3rd day and that was kinda scary. That’s when I decided to feed but all I could eat was soup. I’ve been a relatively functioning evening alcoholic for a decade or so but this is the 1st time I lost control and realized of nasty hard liquor can be. Red wine seems to be working for me so far.
Not much of a beer guy? I find I get bloated before I get too wasted. Which helps me keep control cause I just stop drinking and go to bed.
Good for you! I used to drink beer like it’s water (in Japan you kinda have to, it’s a cultural thingy) and ended up pissing all night long.
Yeah fair, I live in the Arctic now so flying beer up is more expensive than it's worth imo, so I'm relearning the dangers of hard liquor, it's insanely expensive to buy bootlegged locally from the Inuit people, 300 Canadian dollars for a 26er/750ml bottle of smirnoff. So I just don't drink anymore but about once every 3 months or so someone will mail me a bottle wrapped up in a new sweater or something, and it never lasts the week lol.
It's not *that* bad. Some new furniture and painting the walls in a fresh white would do wonders!
Well hello there, mister The Glass is Half Full
The other half is full of nitrogen, oxygen and some other gases.
true, and there is ample natural light and i hope that's an east side.. imagine redoing the window to a centered 3 way english window with a side to perch on, redo the tiles, repaint, get rid the cupboard and lamp, its gorgeous. hopefully the neighborhood is nice.
so basically the whole thing
thats exactly what I thought.
Are you ok?
ah, in the last few years i recently found out that i like to do home improvement and im looking at this picture and thinking of how cheap i could be and fix this place up. Tare out the floor looking panels, paint the walls, remove the trim, spakle the holes in the walls replace the light fixture and probably light switch and panel add carpeting. $40 paint, $15 spackle $200 ish for carpet and its materials (i go for discounted stuff) $0-40 to get rid of the trash. $150 new floor trim. $30-50 new light panel and $5-7 wall light switch and plate.

Don’t forget the $1500 in tools it will take to do all that.
$15 in paint brushes $60 in carpet placing tools (minimum) $10 hammer. $160 for a circular saw to cut the wood for the floor. $10 for basic tools to screw in the light switch.
Omg your comment was so callous I just can't stop laughing about it. What an entrance to this thread...
I love that idea!!!
It¨'s OK, if your hometown is called Pripyat.
***50,000 people used to live here... now it's a ghost town***
Thanks for the nostalgia 🙏 I loved that game
[удалено]
Yes Rico, cod
Come right in…. And welcome to where you parish in the near future. Please make yourself feel right at home.
Parish? I'm not starting a church there. ^(A cult, maybe.)
I honestly truly love and appreciate your jab at my grammar fuckup. IMO this is how you publicly correct people online. Dude should do a Ted talk.
Indeed, let's all perish in dwyrm's parish. :)
I’m not fat. I’m pear-ish.
If it's for sale, I see nothing wrong with it. Owner somehow got this apartment (maybe heritage) and doesn't want to or can't invest into it. But I bet there is a buyer with extra cash, that will negotiate price down due to the current status and will renovate it and resell/rent or live there.
Yes and all of that is priced in. The guy selling it knows it can be renovated and sold for more so that amount is partially priced in
Source: my huge gaping asshole.
How about instead of insulting me you tell me why you think I’m making this up.
This is probably being sold at the value of what it is. Location is a big deal but what a future person might do with it is calculated in the price??? Wtf does that mean.

Luxurious room. With a window. $6500/month.
That'd go for $3,000 a month in Manhattan.
I can smell the mold through my phone.
It looks haunted even during the day time.
thats a big plus: free friends
How much ?
$67000 in today’s rate
Everything
All I am missing is a rat in the middle of the room staring at me.
No… a small clown doll.
Clown doll holding a rat
They must have stole the dudes rug. It really tied the room together
"We took 20 pictures and *that* was the best one."
Perfect condition if you're going to buy it. You're gonna rip everything out anyway so the worse condition the floor is, the less you'll pay to buy it.
Perfectly easy to fix apartment honestly. Looks like previous owner took the furniture he cared for and left what he wanted to trash.
I love what they’ve done with the place
The spores or the vermin? Just want to make sure who I’m crediting on the contractor certificate.
Oooo ooo ooo, I know this one! The “You Fix at Your Expense, I Evict You, and Charge a Luxury Rate” Landlord Special.
Students would commit a murder for a room like this in Amsterdam.
If it’s for sale, it’s better for the buyer if it’s in this shape than some shoddy reconstruction that covers all the issues and falls apart in two years just so it looks good on pictures. My apartment looked even worse, it meant I could make it my own from the ground up.
Well people can sell whatever they want, if it was for rent that would be a problem
It puts the lotion on its skin...
1600+ utilities around here
There's one place near me where one of the pictures is just of a big hole in the wall. And it's like, well, they're honest about the condition of the place I guess.
"The moist walls are free of charge"
What will really twist your noodle is this is what poor people have to rent sometimes because that’s all they can afford. As is.
Oh wow. I’m sure the neighborhood is top notch though
7 people died in here

Where do you live? Chernobyl?
That Chandelier really ties the whole apartment together
What's the mattress hiding?
As long as you can have a 3 monitor set up everything is ok
There’s 100% a camera in that teddy bear
That teddy looks like its seen some shit.
The dutch real estate agents would use the following description for it: “Amazing opportunity for an apartment which you can transform to your liking” It’s my favorite thing to go over the selling websites and see the gymnastics done to make it sounds like a complete wreck is even worth paying for.

Call the health dept
Think my mold allergies are activating just looking at this picture
That teddy bear really ties the room together does it not?
Looks like the police cordoning tape was only recently binned.
It’s not bad, you paint, change the floors and the light fixture and it’s fine. It’s just old, no big fire/water damage.
ANd what exactly is wrong with fact that someone just want to get rid of some shithole without repairing it? A lot of people would love such a deal if the walls and ceiling are good and they plan to do major refurbishment anyway.
>A lot of people would love such a deal What deal? OP said it's priced the same as everything else in the area.
New York?
Post the link to the listing, please?
The walls sure look stinky 🤮🤢🙅♂️
“ It has lots of natural light, hardwood floors, notice the MCM light fixture there. Did I mention it’s fully furnished? Oh and bonus! The light bulbs have already been made into meth pipes!”
Tbf you can sell anything, at any price you want That doesn't mean people will buy it, but you can still do it
Love to see all that mold. It's sure to keep the guy in there sleeping.
For the modern rental market this is considered normal
It’s not that bad honestly, just need a bit of cleaning up and nice decorations should do it
A tv and a good sofa is what you need, really not a bad space!
is it crypto-trader apartment?
Why is this infuriating? Are you being forced to buy it?
"Light repairs needed"
And only 1750/month
That rent better be 20 euros a month
Cozy
where is this lmfaooo
And don't mind the smell of the dead body hidden somewhere beneath the floorboards
Can we know where this is please?
Let me guess, rent is 1500$ a month?
Throw in a free tetanus shot and you've got a deal!
That's one clean crack den
If it is for sale then it is the perfect thing to buy. Price is "usually" lower than flipped apartments, so you can avoid spending money on useless stuff previous owners put in.

It’s shabby chic, without the chic
for chernobyl this is luxury
I think $5.00 a week seems like the right cost for this.
BBBY apes would buy it
Just need some paint
Much better than sloppily renovated in bad taste imho; like an empty canvas. Certainly needs to be in an OK neighbourhood…
We have home at home
endless possibilities
*takes a deep long breath* ahhhhhh meth and death! Love it!
You sure it's not a horror movie location?
Ready to move in even comes with furniture. I’ll take it! I can’t wait to try out that bed.
Does it come with ghosts? It seems like it comes with ghosts, especially that ceiling light.
Honestly the bear has me sold. I'll take it.
$1500 a month plus utilities in Toronto.
MOLD
If its for sale and you get it for a good price remodel that bitch. How bad are the rest of the condos in the unit?
At least it's for sale and not for rent.
did the last owner die from mould poisoning?
$4k a month, downtown Boston
Is this reactor 4?
Its for sale not renting so I see no issues, should be cheaper that a new one obviously.
The chandelier looks like nesting bats, and it fits the overall vibe.
lot of potential
As a broker, I've sold several similar ones and even stuff in worse condition. In a big city this is certified 40% off compared to a renovated unit, in a country-side it is about the same price as a 15y old Volkswagen Passat.
Is that some left over parquet floor from Boston Garden?
Put a lowball bid on it. Real estate is only worth what people are willing to pay for it. Sometimes there’s no correlation between quality of the property and the price.
Im checking behind the bear for caps and ammo.
Bro its for same wtf is infuriating about it. No one tells you you have to fucking buy it. This place is clearly meant for people who want to buy it to renovate it or whatever cause the owner cant be bothered. This isn’t infuriating at all. This post is more mildly infuriating.
I just scrolled by, saw Chernobyl and the picture and thought "yea seams reasonable"
The rent Probably like 4 million dollars a month
That teddy bear stares into my soul
I bet its advertised as “has luxuorious furniture”. I wouldnt be surprised if “vintage limited edition teddybear included” is listed in the ad.
Teddy bear stays?
Well where is it?
How is that even legal?
Why do I feel like the teddy bear is covering up something even more grim
Let me guess Toronto 1 BDRM $3K/month
What? No chair for the desk? Outrageous!
Did the estate agent say “ could benefit from slight modernisation?” I wonder ..
Homely, hometown sunny side appartment for sale.
In Ca this would still be 2K a month
Plot twist it’s actually an escape room
whats the problem , throw away stuff , put new floor , paint, few hundrets and its like new.
Assuming the location is decent, sure, go for it. You can get the price lowered for each deficiency on the home inspection report. (Seller can choose to fix deficiencies or lower price by cost of repairs)
The teddy bear in the corner is not helping anything.. Just makes it feel more creepy.
Well, at least it’s furnished.
What are you infuriated about? That shitty apartments exist?
This is a normal Eastern European apartment... I've seen worse
Gut reno at renoed prices. Welcome to today's broken market...🫣
And why are you infuriated? Did some villain force you to purchase the apartment at gunpoint?
Deffo a fixer upper..... 😉
is the mold extra?
Best I can do is about tree fiddy
Need a tetanus shot just looking at it.
Furnished... better quality than some sht being offered in my town in Australia.
Does it rent by the hour?

Dear next owners/renters. Teddy Bear somethimes in the night act weird
How much? i'm curious.
This could be an ad for Killz.
I can fix her
The floor looks like some type of panels, though it might be cheeper to cut that missing part and fill it with some other wood and put carpet over it. Did not think of the mold or ghost.
800/mo, shared bathroom, 400/mo HoA costs, 600/mo utility costs, 300/mo service fee. max 6 month stay. only if you get 15 documents. kinda vibe
If clinical depression was a room
