The idea isn't really all that much different from buying a "fixer-upper" though. A lot of people (like myself) buy a house in a location we like on property that we like that clearly needs a lot of updating and we do it over time, some of it ourselves, some of it (usually) with contractors. In my case, I'm not sure how much money had been put into the house over at least the previous 50 years.
