Would you buy a house that someone was murdered in?

buy house

I am in the process of buying a house and have today discovered that someone was brutally murdered there just over 2 and a half years ago.
The case was in the national news and there is a new local campaign surrounding the case which is going to make a lot more people aware of it (hence how I’ve only just found out).

I’m not personally worried about living in the house but I’m concerned about it’s resale potential.
Would something like this totally put you off buying a house or more inclined to want to buy it?
Do you think it would decrease the value of the house or increase it because of the history?

Your opinions are appreciated!

What are your suggestions for buying a house on a lease/rent to own?

lease house

For the past 6 months I have been on a perfect house search (and for the owner to finance me). Things fell through w/2 of my favorite houses (leins and water damage etc). Tonight I found a guy that buys houses in foreclosures and resells them on a 24-36 month lease, although he calls it Rent-to-own. My max. budget is 30k. My father will be making the down payment and I am to make the monthly payments til it’s paid off. Since I’ve started college I take out loans to pay my bills and figure why pay rent when the same amount could be going into a house.

What should I have in the contract to protect me and him? After the inspection and appraisal of course.
I also have 2 roommates that pay $400 month where we live now. They will be paying the same when things are closed on the house.
I failed to mention that I would have to have my lawyer look at it, as well as both of my parents… an uncle that was in this business and of course my roommates. I really can’t afford to get screwed w/this.

Is it worth the risk to buy property that is less than 20 feet above sea level?

buy property

If sea level rises due to global warming, then lots of property all over the country, and the world, will get destroyed. Just like so much property in New Orleans. But until recently I lived in a nice shore town, and if I still had a job there I would have considered eventually buying a house there, fully aware of what could happen in the next few decades.
BeachSaint, I wish I could agree, but not everyone has enough money to live for the moment, especially when it comes to buying a house.
