A Neglected Home in Foreclosure Tempts Atlanta Buyers with a Pool and More Space Than the Other Homes in Their Price Range (43x6)

Air date: May 27, 2010

An Atlanta couple committed to heavy business travel gets ready to trade in their jet setting life to become homebodies and start a family. They first see a $380K remodeled bungalow with a great backyard. But, the home is a bit quirky with sloped walls in the bedroom and checkerboard flooring. The second house is a Cape Cod style priced at $375K. It also has a big backyard and an attic they could renovate into a master retreat, but the master bedroom is small and they would have to share the master bathroom with guests. The third home is a ranch style in foreclosure and listed for $385K. It has more space than the other two and includes a swimming pool. But the home is damaged with holes in the walls and missing fixtures plus the pool needs major repairs. Will LaDonna and Darnell take a chance on the neglected foreclosure or go for one of the move-in ready options?
