Future of the House

[Clownery]

Also I'm mostly joking. The rental probably smelled mostly of a LOT of shellac primer, paint, and new carpets after Chris and Barb moved out, with just a hint of chandler funk underneath it.

if i remember correctly they basically never cleaned the place. it was filled with trash, dog shit and cat piss and rat droppings. so i wouldnt be surprised if they left a persistent smell there after they left, especially since it took months for that house to be occupied again.

I'd sleep there if I'm put in a shark cage for the night.

Steel cages can't protect you from tard cum

I am pretty sure that, even if the land is still used for a residential purpose, that same old house should be demolished before they just build a whole new house on the top of the land.

I am quite sure nobody would be willing to live in the same old building with knowing what happened in that same building.

They basically never clean anything.

What if they can buy it for $100k less than a comparable property nearby?

Realistically nobody would give that kind of discount. It would be much cheaper to renovate. Eventually the relatively-good location will warrant a complete teardown (for reasons unrelated to the Chandlers) but I don't know if it's to that point yet.

The bank might in a foreclosure sale. To speed things along they could list it for just barely enough to cover the outstanding principle and their fees. Of course they could also already have a buyer lined up.

14BLC is definitely going to be flipped once it's out of the Chandlers' hands.

Ruckersville isn't urbanizing that quickly.

Ruckersville isn't urbanizing that quickly.

It can't, the zoning laws won't let it.

It does, however, have the advantage of having a straight shot on the highway directly into C-ville, meaning it's great real estate for car-dependent folk who want to live on a large plot of land, but can't afford it in the city or its outskirts in Albemarle County. This is probably why Bob bought the property in the first place, and this feature has only increased in prominence since then.

But that's no reason to demolish the house and rebuild. Ruckersville is still open enough that it would be cheaper and easier to buy an empty lot elsewhere nearby and built to suit on that.

Will Chris inherit it?

 

[Flavius Anthemius]

Will Chris inherit it?

Doubtful, unless Barb has written Chris in the will (If she even has one, It's also possible she's written him out at some point, or plans to) to inherit it, she seems like the type of woman that would hang onto that property for as long as possible, heck I'm not even sure if Cole would end up owning it, I believe it's also been found that someone is still paying the mortgage for that place as well.

Chris hasn't paid for the mortgage at any point, only indirectly by giving his tard bux to Barb, he has paid for some bills I suppose but not all the time and that does normally not mean you own the house, his name would have to be on the mortgage statement or on the deed to the house, which for him is probably neither.

Another playing card that Chris definitely didn't think about that could have been used to acquire the property is squatters rights, but unfortunately for him Virginia has some of the harshest requirements to fulfill the requirements of possessing a property based on these rights, something like 15 years of permanent habitation, and the fact that he has been locked up and sent to a hospital for over a year, has ruined that opportunity for good.

Chris doesn't have to be in a will. If Barb dies intestate it most likely passes to Chris and Cole 50/50. (Bob's kids had a collective 2/3 interest in it when Bob died, but that may have expired since they never made a claim. I don't know what the rules are exactly in Virginia)

Squatter's rights is called "adverse possession". It only comes into play if you've lived there, publicly, *without* the owner's permission. If you lived there with permission it does not apply.

Chris and Barb are a whole ecosystem unto themselves.

They definitely had to strip it and dip it, but that shouldn't take a whole year (unless it's particularly hard to schedule contractors in Virginia). Something was in that house that wouldn't go away.

It might have taken the whole year just to get rid of the smell.

I Imagine them entering the house with a cord and a hazzard suit on, with a EMF meter to see how much autism got into the walls. When something Jumped at them, they would get pulled out.

Chris and Cole will inherit it. They will also inherit the debt on it.

Bob's kids had a collective 2/3 interest in it when Bob died, but that may have expired since they never made a claim.

It would have been amusing if they had claimed it. If Chris draws bad art of Cole for not sending him and Barb money, imagine what would have come from relatives he barely knows taking his house from him.

Chris and Barb get by so often through other people simply not giving a fuck about them and theirs.

This. Chris was a renter, not a squatter.

It depends, 14 BC already has the utilities built out so it may be a lot cheaper to do a rebuild than buy undeveloped land and have to connect it to infrastructure.

Demolition is expensive. Also I'm assuming the new empty lot would be in a new development in Ruckersville (like 14BLC was when it was first built), not just a random plot of land, so planning for the utilities would already be in place.

Also the utilities at 14BLC are very minimal. We know it has no sewer connection, and I've never seen a gas meter on the property. Likely it just has just water, electric, and phone service, and who the hell needs a land line phone service any more?

Definitely if it's a graded plat with utilities it makes more sense to build on new land rather than tear down and rebuild.

Would the neighbor's facepalm when they see Chris return to the house?

Im not so sure but im pretty sure he would be shocked to find him back in the neighborhood barb will probably be dead by the time he is released from jail.

It's either that or chase him out of the neighborhood with torches and pitchforks.

I think they'll think that Chris has been placed under SOR, which is erroneous, but damned if that wouldn't be funny to see a mob swarm the house and demand Chris leave for being the degenerate he is.
