Find house a new home, and it's yours for free

BELLEVUE, Ohio (AP) -- Mike Bassett has a house he wants to give away.

 

There's just one catch. A sign in front of the home on W. Main Street offers: "House for Sale -- You move." The taker must pay to have the building moved from Bassett's property in this northern Ohio city about 45 miles southeast of Toledo...

Interesting...if you have $200,000 to buy it, why not find a nearby lot and have it moved?, you'd get out cheaper in the end. I can't imagine a suburban supermarket and gas station would be too appealing to live next to, either.

The trick is finding a lot in a neighborhood with homes from about the same era.  Neat looking house and not a bad deal if you can keep the moving costs down.
