See how a couple got an abandoned home for free — then moved it, rodents and all. They're about to fix it up all by themselves.
In 2022, Julie Flores, 32, a part-time accountant and stay-at-home mom from Kansas City, Missouri, received the call of a lifetime: She and her husband, Eddie, had won a 20th-century home in Lincoln, Kansas, a small Midwestern town of aboutWhile the couple didn't get a mortgage, they have spent $105,000 renovating the home so far, which includes a $45,000 fee for the physical relocation of the home to another Lincoln lot that cost them nearly $3,000.
The family moved to Lincoln in January as they've continued their renovations, an experience they write about on the blog. Until they can move into the house, they are renting one about ten miles away and still own their home in Kansas City, which they periodically rent out through Airbnb. "It's a beautiful and very small community, but it has suffered," she said."We have one grocery store in town and just lost the only restaurant. It's not all roses, but we're hoping this house will help bring life back into our home and the community."In August 2022, Flores and her husband officially became landowners, purchasing a sprawling three-acre lot for $2,932.
