What are the benefits of buying the home next to yours when it goes on the market?

And what if the house was foreclosed, and it is also in shambles?

Well you can fix it up and move your girlfirend into it.

That way if your wife pisses you off you can just wall next door.

You'll have some control over who your neighbors are. And if in a decent area, profit in the long run. Especially on a foreclosure if you're any kind of DIY type.

We had an empty house next to ours for a while.
It was nice using that backyard to walk the dog.

The best one of those I’ve seen is where a suburban subdivision house burned to the slab. Neighbor bought the lot, removed the debris, put a nice iron fence around it, and landscaped a hell of a nice garden area that also gave him more distance/buffer from neighbors.

Well it's a small plus but you wouldn't have to drive to the other side of town to do some DIY work on it.

shite you're not gonna get a better opportunity to flip some real estate. It's right next door so you can walk over and monitor whatever work is being done. Depending on where you live you could make it a rental property rather than sell and make some passive income.

You could get another wife and she could live next door like they do on Sister Wives.

My crotchety old neighbor is gonna sell sooner or later and I'm gonna try and buy it from him if he doesn't want to kill me first.

He'll burn it to the ground before he sells it to you.
