House Fire in Forest Cove this morning. Fire is out but there ar

sheltielover :
Wow...I didn't realize it was 15 years now...I walk by there sometimes on my lunch break to stretch my legs. I saw an older guy sitting on the porch there a week ago, and it looks like a new "For Sale" sign has gone up.

Joe : I have seen this house during it's many phases of remodel. I just don't understand how someone spends money and then lets it sit and rot. I think some of the "updates" were odd. There is one house at the corner of Red Bud and Mustang Trail, when they started that build they framed everything and then stopped for years. All the exposed wood aged and became weathered and grey. Eventually, they came back in a finished it. I would never want that house! It is huge but, knowing the history of the build I would not buy that.

luannski : House had tree damage.

sweetie :
Oh my goodness that's awful! What a horrible situation. I hope the house was at least empty and didn't have possessions or someone squatting in it. I wonder how the fire started.

Oh man. Ownership of that house has been disputed in the courts since 2016. It seems like a very tense family dispute with multiple heirs and divisions of ownership. I suppose no one has paid the taxes on the house since no one agrees on how much of it they own. A lost appeal from last year shows 4 joint owners. What a mess.

It's been ordered to be sold and proceeds split, but I don't know if that was ever done.

MissAmericanPie : Arson units were there.

grinchy :
Well after hearing the background story…. Very coincidental.

Joe : I looked at that house for an investment when it first went up for sale. There was mold in there all the kitchen cabinets and bathroom. Cabinets were completely removed. There was no sheet rock . There was no nothing in there. But the mold was still obvious. They tried to sell it for a while for 150,000 and then they got 110,000 and then these new owners that bought it for 110 ended up not doing much in there and now they're selling it for 300.

Chow : That is the house that burned. Here's some pics. I took on my way to lunch today.

500 credits sent!
Joe tipped sweetie 500 credits for a post in this forum discussion.

And another

The last pic is the back of the house

joe thank you for the tip appreciate it

PatrickStar : I wonder in a case like this where it burns down, I bet the insurance co only pays the owner? In which case that's really suspicious!
