2. Charming (too old)
3. Original Condition (appliances are 50 years old)
4. Needs TLC (it’s a dump)
5. Conveniently located (noisy)
6. Desirable neighborhood (this little house has been way over-priced because the neighborhood has some snob appeal)
7. Efficient kitchen (too small to fit two adults)
8. One car garage (you can drive your Chevy in but can’t get out)
9. Peek at the park/river/mountains (if you angle your mirror just so…)
10. Useable land (no trees)

Hilarious. You are absolutely on the money. #1 should be Needs TLC, you see that all the time and it means you better have some time and money to make this house inhabitable. Nice list
