And of course you must be very rich huh? One of the greatest things in life is watching a very poor person work hard, educating themselves and becoming not only a wealthy professional but remembering where they came and started from. That's the true meaning of success.
Actually, I'd say it was more a a rich person who didn't dive the remotest damn about resale value and just wanted to live in his dream home. Which was considerably odder than most people's dream homes. Like, the real estate guy's advice about keeping your home impersonal to maximize market appeal is fine advice, if you think you're going to sell it one day. But if you plan on living in your house forever and/or just plain aren't going to have to worry about money? Make it yours, why not. Spend five million dollars to build a house that would be a tough sell at a tenth of that.

" You want to make sure the house is going to make you money when you sell it. " That is the biggest problem we have in this country is people expecting to make money on their home and not looking at it as a place where they are going to live.
It should be a gag house: event hall for eccentric/theme parties, that dungeon halloween haunted house in October, music videos, movies... he's not thinking big enough, oddly.

This house will never sell for that price and location. It will end up being bought by a realtor for 1/5th asking price at auction. They do it all the time. Those auctions are rigged AF.
This house sits on multiple lots, can't be separated. Has house built behind existing house, Zoning violation. He took money for insurance work then work was NEVER done. Didn't pay contractors, leans on property. Taxes owed on ALL 7 properties it sits on. Can not move in until ALL zoning violations are taken care of. Multiple city hookups, CANNOT be put on one account. Has multiple law suits and leans filed on property by neighbors. House is being sold to settle court judgement. How do I know this? I worked on the house, have friend that did appraisal on house, dealt with inspectors, saw the trial.
@@healinggrounds19 well because we haven't always lived in your ideal kind of world where government agents watch every thing that everyone ever does. How is this even allowed?

@@SuperPhunThyme9 I live in a house that was built before zoning and construction regulations came to our area. My garage is tiny and shared with the neighbors. The sewage lines were a mess, and had to be straightened out. Travis is right, regulation is a relatively new idea.

@@Kevin-it4fh - Haha Yeah no i've been to Bloomfield a few times and Indianapolis. It actually is a pretty gorgeous state and area. I don't know if I could ve a resident. But it's certainly a nice place to visit.
Bond villain vibe is probably the best description for a house I’ve ever heard(and personally if it was aesthetically pleasing to me, and if I was hella rich, I might go for that in a mansion)
I was Caretaker for a property like this. The owner lived in another house in another country. I only met him once. Nobody lived in it for 7 years, except the Caretakers who were paid to live in it. It was a monstrosity with a leaky roof.
@@jitulvslife03 It took a large crew to fix the roof. The leak occurred because one large section of the building had separated from another. There were 3 sections, each one of which could contain 12 appartements. It was a gigantic mansion.
Its very likely grandfathered in. If you talk to the permit board and pay all the necessary fees they may allow it depending on the neighborhood. I mean its better than a vacant property, that stuff is terrible.
I do not understand all the negative comments. The house is Beautiful. I do not care for the rocks and the Dolphin at the front of the house but the inside is very Artistic and Beautiful. Not as boring as your regular everyday build.
Our house was built in 1964 and when we bought it in 2009 it still looked like 1964 inside and out. However, that's specifically what we were looking for because we're eccentric and we collect vintage decor and furniture. Our things would look ridiculous in a modern/renovated home. You can always sell a house, just gotta wait for the right buyer.
Only $1.3M for a huge property with 5 structures? Look at real estate in Vancouver BC lol, $1.3M will get you a 2000sqft semi-detached house on a 4000sqft lot.
It's in Indiana that's why. If it was in a major metropolitan hub it would be millions more just for the lot, forget about the tasteless home. No takers for million dollar price tag . . . But someone will score it eventually.
The interior detail is strange, yes. However, it’s not to bad and the price is rather good. Just put in some changes and it’ll be a nice house. The architecture isn’t too bad. Hell I’d buy it!
Yeah, and I kinda suspect the house was unsellable ONLY on the show, i.e. "unsell-ability" is a major plot element every property show. In addition the house was easily photographed, had memorable shape, a great view, and the decor allowed show's principals to drone on about supposedly awful 1980s style (nevermind that '80s furniture and decor is presently dethroning mid-century modern as most fashionable (and expensive) interior elements). In reality, put that house on the market at right time of year, at proper price, it would get snatched up within two weeks.
@@DaneAraux probably selling it for so cheap as they don't live in it and have to deal with property taxes. It can be rented out, but renovations would be costly and a risky investment.
As a family man I cannot understand why ANYONE would want to sell their homes that were constructed especially for them? If I build a house I am not selling it.
No because markets are so hot we only really have 2 major cities Toronto and Vancouver. So properties are very expensive. 1.29 million is literally a normal house under 2.5k square feet depending on area. People move about almost 100 miles out of the city to get a normal cost on a house.
Ablaikhan Bennett Even in outlying areas, of Toronto and Vancouver, the homes are ridiculously expensive. You can't get a house for less than $410,000. You can buy an apartment or condo but legit, no homes, other than dilapidated buildings.
Elena Arman-Tang a contractor could buy it, hit it for scrap, build 100 houses on the property and still not make their money back. The only cure is a torch.
That dining room would make me PUKE!!! The homes here in Santa Fe are some of thee most beautiful in the world... "Asian orient themed with a hint of circus mirrors" is just about the worst thing I could imagine!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 CAN YOU SAY LOTTERY WINNER? I live in Indianapolis , this is embarrassing! This area of town has older family homes that are quaint, not humongous eyesores! We need to 'out' the builder, even more, the interior designer 👻 Ok, pimp was my second guess! I should have watched the whole video before commenting! Oops
It's good to hear realtors trash-talk a shitty property. That doesn't happen enough! Plus, that McMansion had a circular staircase....that's a sale killer BY ITSELF.
I know! Like a bunch of posters above, I like in California and I was stunned at the low price. (And no, I'm not being sarcastic). Forget the structure... just the dirt (land) alone would be worth more than that in a lot of places here.
I feel bad for the real estate agent guy. You can tell he's a pretty nice dude, but he's been tasked with selling this piece of shit. He knows its trash, but has to put on a smile and try to put it in a good light.
MrStaton352 I never said anything about black folk! After living within rocks through distance of three NFL players for over 15 years. I made the comment that someone from the NFL would probably like it. Maybe we could turn it into a halfway house for people coming from prison. Maybe a homeless shelter for American veterans.
Visit some of Liberace's houses. I've toured one and couldn't believe how hideous it looked. I seriously think he had an army of interior designers who wouldn't agree on what to do so he let them design each room....
When you drive down Kessler Blvd. You notice this house immediately, it overshadows all the other houses on the block. I believe this is the ONLY reason people are hating on it so very much. I think it is beautiful and I see it as a work of art!!! It is in a perfect location if you ask me.
Honestly, I doubt if you could get that much out of it. It would cost a fortune to redo or even take down and resell the property. Its a money loser no matter what....unless you are as whacked as the former owner and actually like that mess.....
"keep it simple" Fuck that, if I had the kind of money to design and build my own luxury home, I'd do it my own way. I wouldn't build it in the first place if I didn't think I could afford to keep the damn thing. It's all gotta be built from stone bricks, with detailed 19th century stone masonry, hand carved wooden paneled rooms, and have an overall aristocratic/ old world feel to it.
So true. My parents once were house hunting and RAN from a house the real estate agent showed them. It was absolutely hideous: dozens and dozens of animal heads on the walls. The wood was just u g l y: the color and grain looked bad. The carpet was just as tacky. I would never go fancy, not even a bit. True, some wouldn't like seeing blank white and gray walls but it'll save money too. I also don't understand why people buy the weirdest, craziest carpet designs. I seriously think the designers were drunk when they had the carpets done in some houses I've seen. And the houses I saw were wayyyyy above $400k!
LaRaikaa I like that though of pre 1930s aka pre flapper and modernism construction and architecture style. I'm not into Frank Lloyd Wright ideals of post 1955 those are a turn off to me
that is a director's dream the movie set is already made no props need to be packed up nor transported - This house is sold. ... and it'll be seen inside and out in everyone's social media selfie.... the right investors group is sealing the deal now... this guy knew what he was doing and only original minds can get the drift or get the rift of that same vision.
Screw trying to sell it, start renting it out as like an air b&b to people. It’s a legend in the area right? I’m sure there are some people who would love to rent it for the weekend with their friends, drink, dance and have fun in a huge tacky mansion! In a weird sorta way, It’s so bad that it’s good!!🤷🏼♀️😂
As someone who lives in Asia, I can tell you that looks like a typical wealthy Chinese owned and designed house. They would gobble that tacky thing up!
The convicted pimp had a three bedroom, one level home. Then he started a construction business. As he made money he had his crew add a room or wing here and there. The end result is several tons of concrete, ugly tile, and cheap finishes. He died. So the family tried to off load the monstrosity with a huge price based on the square footage. I'm sure, it'll sell for under a half million if it hasn't already. Then another idiot will deconstruct and reconstruct several areas/rooms to suit his or her wants. The best thing to do is buy the neighbors homes, build them up to a similar size, and sell them. This will raise the property values in this neighborhood. Soon most of the homes would be bought, second floors and winds added, and sold for over a million. The area would become know as millionaires row. As it is now, the neighboring homes are worth less because of this one lump of concrete.

Danny A Bro, 1 million 300k isn’t a lot of money. You don’t understand why they’re selling it so cheap.
LOL.........no
@@DaneAraux probably selling it for so cheap as they don't live in it and have to deal with property taxes. It can be rented out, but renovations would be costly and a risky investment.
I love how she has on Uggs with her suit. Pretty down to earth.
As a family man I cannot understand why ANYONE would want to sell their homes that were constructed especially for them?
If I build a house I am not selling it.
He is dead!
Lol, 1.3 M would get you a tiny bungalow 30km outside of Toronto
Nick Supapol no kidding!
Gotta pay for that "free" healthcare somehow!
Same in SF bay area! it would get you a 1950, 1200 sq foot fixer upper 20 miles outside the city and would be on the market for a minute!
No because markets are so hot we only really have 2 major cities Toronto and Vancouver. So properties are very expensive. 1.29 million is literally a normal house under 2.5k square feet depending on area. People move about almost 100 miles out of the city to get a normal cost on a house.
Ablaikhan Bennett Even in outlying areas, of Toronto and Vancouver, the homes are ridiculously expensive. You can't get a house for less than $410,000. You can buy an apartment or condo but legit, no homes, other than dilapidated buildings.
In Toronto 1.3 million gets you a one-bedroom apartment can't believe how cheap real estate is in other places
Holy fk
@@mogotrevo houses regularly go for 6 700k over asking price
I can't afford a $150,000 condo where I live while people in Toronto have to deal with much higher prices.
who wants to live in Toronto?
@@JD-zd8tm it's the third most populated city in North America so a few people I guess
i like it. It makes most ordinary homes look ordinary. This is unique, fun, and not a cookie cutter house built for everyone.
This house definitely belongs on the McMansion Hell blog.
That's why you go timeless on decor when constructing house. Just traditional and timeless.
Is a decent size house for 1 million. But it is very out of place. And looks like it should be in a gated community
Jeremy Bulger it looks like it should be knocked down
Code Name definitely! A contractor should buy it, tear it down and build 3 homes similar to the ones in the neighbourhood!
Elena Arman-Tang a contractor could buy it, hit it for scrap, build 100 houses on the property and still not make their money back. The only cure is a torch.
Gated community or pointed and laughed at by all?
@Code Name
Agree. It's UGLY.
Ive driven by this place so many times and heard so many crazy stories about previous owners and have never seen inside until now, really cool.
I liked the boat shaped house in Bel-Air ... the problem is I just don’t have millions of dollars 😞
Makes you want to get it just so you can fix everything right.
I'd buy it for about $500k. Because I'd be putting another $800k in renovations into it. But, I don't want to live in Indianapolis.
BewareTheIdes How about California? You can have my ugly house for 190k lol
bigmum271 ok then we have a deal then
bob lazuli I'm not joking, I'm really trying to sale my house, you want it you can have it (:
bigmum271 what area ?
That dining room would make me PUKE!!! The homes here in Santa Fe are some of thee most beautiful in the world... "Asian orient themed with a hint of circus mirrors" is just about the worst thing I could imagine!!
ahhh and all paid for by the hardworking whores of indianappolis.... Perfect!
lol. if you turn that into a walk in closet it would be interesting and more sensible?
I'm pretty sure that someone, somewhere finds the homes in Santa Fe to be butt-ugly...
Tacky and oggly house!
Really represents the personality of the original owner!
This agent tries soo hard to not say something bad and to turn everything into something good bless him
More proof that $$$ can't buy taste.
spinalcrackerbox biggest debate for years
It's a man cave, and strip joint in one. 😄
Honestly i think these are cool as hell id definitely buy em if i had the money it’s such great character i love the creativity in em
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
CAN YOU SAY
LOTTERY WINNER?
I live in Indianapolis , this is embarrassing! This area of town has older family homes that are quaint, not humongous eyesores! We need to 'out' the builder, even more, the interior designer 👻
Ok, pimp was my second guess! I should have watched the whole video before commenting! Oops
Simple don’t build big houses in normal neighborhoods. Now they just need to drop the price about half and someone will buy it
btvbrndn they need to burn it and someone will buy it
I dont think they would sell, BUT... they could probably approach movie studios and get paid to use the properties as filming locations.
update us who bought the house, or is a landmark already?
The house was still on the market in 2017 for 1,750,000
@@MrNecryptic I thought the scumbag died.
@@MrNecryptic Kessler Blvd. Not a family 🙄.
It's good to hear realtors trash-talk a shitty property. That doesn't happen enough!
Plus, that McMansion had a circular staircase....that's a sale killer BY ITSELF.
only 1mil for that mansion? thats cheap compared to where i live.
I know! Like a bunch of posters above, I like in California and I was stunned at the low price. (And no, I'm not being sarcastic). Forget the structure... just the dirt (land) alone would be worth more than that in a lot of places here.
Oops..."live in California", not "like".
Same my neighbors house is $2.5 million. I live in Connecticut.
Right but this is suburban indianapolis in an area where the median house price is 150K. This house is incredibly expensive if you consider that
Yep. My house costs more and it's much smaller.
Some people are so poor all they have is money
I'll take that
i like money
@@EnergeticWaves But does money love you, hun?
i think so, i have everything i want
Exactly.
This mansion is just an 8 year old playing the Sims irl
I feel bad for the real estate agent guy. You can tell he's a pretty nice dude, but he's been tasked with selling this piece of shit. He knows its trash, but has to put on a smile and try to put it in a good light.
I’m sure somebody from the NFL would love to live there
My first thought was that it was the brainchild of a football player.
I was thinking Detroit Lions perhaps somebody from the Miami Dolphins would like it. Snicker snicker.
Nope sorry. Can't put this one on the "dumb black athletes." The owner was white.
MrStaton352 I never said anything about black folk! After living within rocks through distance of three NFL players for over 15 years. I made the comment that someone from the NFL would probably like it. Maybe we could turn it into a halfway house for people coming from prison. Maybe a homeless shelter for American veterans.
The owner was a millionaire pimp. That's like the black CEO.
The boat house looks awesome!
Finally! Someone (Brian Sanders- agent) who knows how to pronounce the word 'realtor.' Even a lot of realtors mispronounce the word. smh....
It’s an old pimps house this is so cool I’ve seen it twice in person
The epitome of bad taste if you ask me?.
Visit some of Liberace's houses. I've toured one and couldn't believe how hideous it looked. I seriously think he had an army of interior designers who wouldn't agree on what to do so he let them design each room....
That is the tackiest thing I've ever seen!
william harper this is a statement?..
Good taste is a middle-class concept. The very poor and the very rich have garish tastes.
$1,2000,000.00 would buy a fixer-upper home where I live. Some people
have more money than taste...this house is grotesque!
1'2000'000? That isn't even a number.
You probably meant 12.000.000 or 1.200.000. You can actually find accounting classes for $30 on Udemy. Something to consider ?
Maybe the owner was related to Liberace... :D
Jeanne90275 $1,295,000.
Where do you live, Vancouver, Toronto, San Francisco or something?? Most places houses are much cheaper.
In Asia and India, that $1,295,000 pimp mansion with cave room and mirror bathroom would not be ugly, that's exactly what they like
Seriously?
3:38 Just realized that house is the Talk Dirty music video's party house 😂😂😂
Everything came together when they mentioned the guy who build it was a Pimp 😂 it explains a lot
When you drive down Kessler Blvd. You notice this house immediately, it overshadows all the other houses on the block. I believe this is the ONLY reason people are hating on it so very much. I think it is beautiful and I see it as a work of art!!! It is in a perfect location if you ask me.
Christina Johnson Seriously?? Lol Ok, support the pimp and his vision of his f*ck parties. I just can’t. 😂😂
Oh come on fellas...
It's hilarious. You don' t know quite what will hit you next..
Tacky yes. Unique yes. Interesting. Definitely
Christina Johnson I totally agree 💯%
Suck in some more oxygen dear. You're hallucinating!
What??? That’s an amazing house!! It’s beautiful!!! I’d buy it in a heartbeat :(
(the first one lol)
6:53 the guy sees he’s having an interview and walks away
Good eye!
Sell it for $799.99
trevor welch Fuck that! I ain't paying no more than $59.99.
$1.00 is the min for me.
Honestly, I doubt if you could get that much out of it. It would cost a fortune to redo or even take down and resell the property. Its a money loser no matter what....unless you are as whacked as the former owner and actually like that mess.....
"keep it simple" Fuck that, if I had the kind of money to design and build my own luxury home, I'd do it my own way. I wouldn't build it in the first place if I didn't think I could afford to keep the damn thing. It's all gotta be built from stone bricks, with detailed 19th century stone masonry, hand carved wooden paneled rooms, and have an overall aristocratic/ old world feel to it.
You keep it simple for resale value.
So true. My parents once were house hunting and RAN from a house the real estate agent showed them. It was absolutely hideous: dozens and dozens of animal heads on the walls. The wood was just u g l y: the color and grain looked bad. The carpet was just as tacky. I would never go fancy, not even a bit. True, some wouldn't like seeing blank white and gray walls but it'll save money too. I also don't understand why people buy the weirdest, craziest carpet designs. I seriously think the designers were drunk when they had the carpets done in some houses I've seen. And the houses I saw were wayyyyy above $400k!
Money has this funny thing about coming and going, be careful about thinking it will always be there.
LaRaikaa lol then be prepared to have some one never buy you house
LaRaikaa I like that though of pre 1930s aka pre flapper and modernism construction and architecture style. I'm not into Frank Lloyd Wright ideals of post 1955 those are a turn off to me
that is a director's dream the movie set is already made no props need to be packed up nor transported - This house is sold. ... and it'll be seen inside and out in everyone's social media selfie.... the right investors group is sealing the deal now... this guy knew what he was doing and only original minds can get the drift or get the rift of that same vision.
Screw trying to sell it, start renting it out as like an air b&b to people. It’s a legend in the area right? I’m sure there are some people who would love to rent it for the weekend with their friends, drink, dance and have fun in a huge tacky mansion! In a weird sorta way, It’s so bad that it’s good!!🤷🏼♀️😂
I love the stone bedroom and all the lion sculptures. I guess I have no taste too😂
john jon 😂😂 I like stone. It reminds me of a castle.
Lol
As someone who lives in Asia, I can tell you that looks like a typical wealthy Chinese owned and designed house. They would gobble that tacky thing up!
Wait...why is there a mansion plopped in the middle of a bunch of more modest inexpensive homes?
The convicted pimp had a three bedroom, one level home. Then he started a construction business. As he made money he had his crew add a room or wing here and there. The end result is several tons of concrete, ugly tile, and cheap finishes. He died. So the family tried to off load the monstrosity with a huge price based on the square footage. I'm sure, it'll sell for under a half million if it hasn't already. Then another idiot will deconstruct and reconstruct several areas/rooms to suit his or her wants.
The best thing to do is buy the neighbors homes, build them up to a similar size, and sell them. This will raise the property values in this neighborhood. Soon most of the homes would be bought, second floors and winds added, and sold for over a million. The area would become know as millionaires row. As it is now, the neighboring homes are worth less because of this one lump of concrete.
