The dollar house program (original
post here) in Buffalo is getting some national attention this week as the
LA Times launched a piece over the weekend, which you can read
here. Additionally, National Public Radio interviewed me this morning and you
can listen to the recording by following

| This would have been a great save and a cheaper rehab, but the wrecking ball got to it first |
This is great news all
around since there are still many good rehab candidates out there in need of
loving and capable new owners. Every house that’s taken off the homestead list
is also taken off the demolition list and put back on the tax rolls. While
bringing back neighborhoods in the city isn’t just about getting vacant
properties functioning again, it’s a step in the right direction.

| This beauty has been officially saved and is undergoing rehab |
Stay tuned for a post later
this week that outlines how the acquisition process works once you’ve decided
to buy a dollar house and some helpful tips. A new Dollar House of the Day post will be forthcoming as well. Finally, don’t forget about this
handy map that shows the remaining dollar homes. I’ll continue to update it
as properties are sold or demolished.
