FREE HOMES TO A GOOD HOME

I have heard of free Kittens,

or free couches that have been thrown 

on the side of the road...

and I definitely know a little about 

free Christmas Trees

found on the side of the road,

But I have never heard of a 

FREE HOUSE!

This past weekend me and the boys went with my parents

to visit my Grandma.

She was diagnosed with Cancer on

Christmas eve (of all days).

And she is VERY sick.

She lives in Cheyenne,

so we drove from Denver to see her on Saturday and 

stayed thru Sunday.

She was very happy to see the boys!

Next to the hospital was a row of 3

old homes that I noticed very quickly

since they had a huge "FREE" sign 

on the lawn.

I than began to think how nice it

would be to own a home and have no mortgage!

And wondered why nobody had jumped on this

amazing deal....

So I looked into it.

Excuse the pics, I took them from the car

because the wind was blowing 150mph!

These 3 homes in Cheyenne Wy are "FREE"

"FREE" isnt always free...

which is the case in this situation.

The city obviously has plans

for the land the homes sit on

and they are probably trying to save a

few bucks in demolition cost

and are sooo generously

offering these homes

to any person for "FREE".

But notice the yellow sign nailed to

the "FREE" sign.

The home has to be moved to another location,

and 

You have to pay 10K towards the moving of 

the entire structure.

AND you can assume all risk.

From the looks of it, these homes wouldn't move an

inch without having some sort of

structure damage.

AND Than you have to have some land to put 

the home on.

It sounds like by the time you paid for all

of that, you could have bought

an awesome old home a few

blocks away!

Sadly the lesson today is:

"Free isn't always Free"

Can't believe I actually said that......
