The city of Brimfield is not open to the public, and Rowland Heights refers to a neighborhood in the south of the city, near the river valley.

It is located on the north bank of the river, on a sunny highland.

And when the two of them arrived at No. 168 Roland Heights, they realized what a coincidence.

It turns out that this house is located behind Jasper's house, and is only separated from Jasper's home by a road.

Jasper's house is on the south side of the road, and this house is on the north side of the road.

The entrance door to Jasper's courtyard is on the left hand side, while the entrance door to this house is on the right hand side.

When the two of them were walking around here the day before yesterday, they didn't pay much attention.

When I came here today, I discovered that the door of this compound is open to the outside.

There were also many cars parked in the compound, and it seemed that they were all here to participate in the final family auction.

Because there were so many people coming, the owner opened the lawn and allowed guests to park.

The two parked the car on the lawn, got out of the car, and Chen Rui began to look at the compound in front of him.

The area of ​​this compound is relatively smaller than the surrounding compounds.

It is separated from other courtyards by walls of tall trees.

However, it can be seen that the tree walls of other people's homes have been carefully pruned.

The tree wall of this house looks messy and overgrown.

Under the big tree, there were piles of fallen leaves and dead branches.

The lawn hasn't been mowed in an unknown amount of time, and in some places the weeds are almost as tall as a person.

Looking at the house in the middle of the compound, it looked even more dilapidated.

It's an old-fashioned wooden building, but no one has lived in it or taken care of it for I don't know how many years.

The green paint on the exterior walls is already mottled, and many tiles on the roof are missing.

No wonder, the owner of this house wants to sell this house.

If you lived here by yourself, it would cost a lot of money just to maintain it.

Chen Rui shook his head and calculated.

Recently, he has also seen many beautiful anchors in a short video app.

I often show off how cheap houses in the United States are and how free they are.

Video of how low the cost of living is in the United States. With one hour's salary, you can buy a lot of meat and the like when you go to the supermarket.

Every time he sees a video like this, he gets angry.

These people are either stupid or bad.

Why didn't they say that the meat they bought was the cheapest hormone meat?

Also, houses in the United States are cheap, but that depends on the location.

If you live in the central and western regions, it is indeed very cheap, but its location is similar to that of a third- or fourth-tier small town in China.

It is also a remote area with sparsely populated areas and few job opportunities.

If you are in a big city like New York or Los Angeles, the housing prices are equally scary.

Even in second-tier cities like San Francisco and Boston, housing prices in good locations are still not cheap.

Moreover, the so-called freehold property rights of houses in the United States are a joke.

Because you have to pay a local tax of 1% to 2.0% every year.

The money you have paid for decades is enough for you to buy a new one.

So their freehold, that's a joke.

As for the idea that in the United States, I have the final say on my land, that is even more nonsense.

If you don’t believe it, try cutting down a tree in your own yard?

Or if you don’t mow your yard or lawn, try it.

See if they come to you and issue you a ticket.

As for the cost of resting in the house, let alone that.

Many domestic friends may often complain that the quality of domestic buildings is poor.

The property rights are 70 years, and it may be good to live there for 30 years.

This is true, but you are looking at these so-called independent villas in the United States.

Most of these houses are wooden frame houses, and such houses require maintenance every year.

Moreover, the United States has a lot of extreme weather, especially tornadoes, heavy rains, or blizzards, which happen almost every year.

New houses are fine, but after three to five years, almost most houses will leak.

At that time, just one repair and a few workers would cost anywhere from three to five thousand dollars, or even tens of thousands of dollars.

This is also the reason why the private rental warehouse storage industry in the United States is so developed.

Because many people, in order to save money, simply don’t buy a house and rent a house their whole life.

Frequent moving is troublesome, so I might as well rent a warehouse and put all the furniture and clothes that I don’t usually use in it.

As time went by, many people forgot about it, which gave birth to the professional Taobao industry.

In fact, in the beginning, these people were just rag pickers...

Having said that, looking at the apartment in front of him, Chen Rui could probably guess why the owner wanted to sell it.

It would cost tens of thousands of dollars each to repair such a dilapidated house.

If you have to do it all over again, the cost will be even more expensive.

According to the current labor and materials in the United States, it is estimated that if you don't build a new set, it will cost more than 100,000 yuan.

The two came to the house, but the closer they got, the clearer they could see.

It turned out that the condition of this house was already shocking.

Not only were many tiles missing on the roof, there were even cracks in some places.

The same is true for the walls. Many wooden boards have rotted away, and there are even several large holes in some places.

The deck of the porch made a creaking sound when they walked up to it. The two of them were really afraid that one of them would accidentally step on the floor and break it.

However, although the house was very rundown, there were quite a few people coming in and out, obviously coming for the family auction.

There were quite a few people, and they were holding a lot of things in their hands, and it looked like they were returning home with a full load.

The two of them also raised their legs to enter the house, but the moment they were about to enter the house, Chen Rui was stunned.

He stopped and rubbed his eyes.

"Ricky what's wrong with you?"

Karen asked after seeing his actions.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just lost my eyesight."

Naturally, Chen Rui would not tell her that he had just seen a faint red light from the holes in the walls of the house and the cracks in the roof...

I didn't realize how far it was before, but when I walked in and out.

This red light could not be blocked and leaked out from the cracks in the ruins.

At this moment, Chen Rui's mind was filled with questions.

What a surprise!

How come this house is glowing? What does this mean?

Doesn't that mean this house is an antique?

Well, looking at the age of the house, it is indeed a long time ago, but if you want to say that it is an antique, I am afraid that is a bit ridiculous, right?

Could it be that there is some valuable treasure in this house?

With such questions, Chen Rui finally stepped into the house.

As soon as he stepped into the house, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Because the house looks shabby from the outside, but it looks very new inside.

The wallpaper on the wall is intact, unlike the old houses that have been lived in for decades, which are old, peeling, moldy and discolored.

On the contrary, it is very brand new and the lights in the room are very bright.
