Brick House 319 - Buying & Renovating a Hoarder's House

Fascinating new blog I discovered today: Brick House 319

Excerpt:

In early June, 2014, John and I stopped in a couple of real estate agencies looking for a fixer-upper on the main line of Philadelphia. Usually, good fixer-uppers in great areas are sold by real estate agents to a builder or contractor on the QT and before anyone else even knows they’re up for grabs. Therefore, it wasn’t surprising that there weren’t any listings for what we were looking for. So we decided not to deal with real estate agents and we started driving around looking ourselves for a house that looked like it needed TLC. It didn’t take long to stumble upon what we were looking for.
