Calumet City, Ill.
Price: $55,000
State of repair: Needs full rehab
The ugly feature that stands out on this house is the front exterior staircase -- and matching version at the rear. The raw wood additions wouldn't look out of place attached to a bunkhouse in a Wild West ranch.
Inside, the place looks more tired than trashed, with crummy kitchen cabinets, peeling paint, and weird, painted wood paneled walls.
The good news is that the house has five bedrooms, two baths and a two-car garage. Still, HomeVestors claims a full rehab is needed.
Calumet City is about 20 miles from downtown Chicago in the heavily industrialized border area near Indiana. The area is attempting to make the transition to a more modern economy.
