It is not impossible but probably not worth the hassle. After deep cleaning and general repairs the house will probably sell for about 250k and property taxes are less than 2,000 per year so with utilities you could probably maintain the house for less than 500 dollars a month.

Someone with a decent job can do this without having to live there. The problem then becomes trying to replicate the 14BC experience without turning the place into a health and safety hazard. You would need to artificially create a stench with stink bombs, have a bunch of kidnapped animals trying to escape, hoards and boxes and trash and white elmers glue that can mimic the semen in Chris's room and Barb's bed. You would then need to fill the house with "artifacts" which would require either replicas or someone salvaging Chris's junk so they can recreate his old room.

If somehow someone can manage all this they would then need to deal with the constant threat of weens and Chris himself trying to break in, stealing artifacts, egging the house, setting it on fire, etc.

Not having Chris around misses the whole point of it, they could monetize the place and give visitors the full Chris Chan experience by having Chris around and charging people to meet him!

This way, everyone wins. The new owner gets his fill of cash, Chris gets to stay in the house and the house itself remains standing and useful once Chris passes lol!

Are there any rich, rich Christorians? In that case, I can see the house being preserved. Otherwise, it's going to be a retard hoard-hovel that'll be visited by weens semi-annually while the new owners are taking their trash out.

You never know, if there were some loaded Christorians we would have seen some displays of wealth around Chris by now. Considering how dilapidated and deep in the boonies the house is, however, it won't sell for much and collective funding to purchase it would be doable!
 
It could be an ok starter house for someone, especially if some redneck construction worker got it cheap and could do the work themselves.

Modern zoo standards require a certain wall height around the pit that the animal is contained it. I don't know if you could build such a structure inside 14BC. There was that incident in San Francisco where a tiger escaped and it was found that the SF Zoo wasn't maintaining the necessary depth of their tiger pit.

Although I guess in Chris' case you could build it maybe 5-6 feet high and that would be beyond Chris' ability to lift himself out of it.

if it became a museum we could hire a Chris impersonator
 
Was Chris's house really cleared out like the people on Reddit are saying? They said they checked in his windows and the clutter was removed and that the lawn was strewn with trash.
 
Drachenlord just sold his house to buy a Ford Ranger (unironically). Maybe an inspiration for Chris.

I doubt he'd settle for that, even with a camper shell. Chris has already shown that he's unwilling to sleep in a vehicle, even one like Son Chu which had at least a small amount of room to be used for a van life.

Chris has to have creature comforts the moment he feels discomfort he has to correct that because he's never felt discomfort, even the thought of it stresses him out his standards for comfort are kinda low though.

I got a good chuckle out of the idea of Chris doing #vanlife in some crappy old van he's filled with lego and mlp toys and hit the open road with.

I think it would work best as an escape room, where players could use their knowledge of Christory to figure out how to make their way through the hoard. Players would be stalked by an actor playing a bogeyman-like Chris who is usually just out of view.

You know that scene at the end of Last Crusade where Indiana has to drink from the right cup? Imagine that as a puzzle but with cups of Fanta.
 
So how clear is the evidence that Chris's room has been cleaned and his items disposed of? I mean if they were there would be at least a bin outside with his garbage or evidence of people moving stuff back and forth to the dump.

Also how sure are we that Barb is living in 14BC with her sister and her husband or he brother?

This. Except you would have to deal with Chris trying to come home.

Here's the most likely scenario I can think of: The house will be foreclosed. The lender will sell it at auction, probably undervalue. I don't foresee a huge bidding war for 14BLC. The lender will then pursue Barb for the difference, if any, between the sale and the outstanding mortgage. That's water from a stone because we can expect Barb to file bankruptcy immediately and be placed somewhere. The lender could already have a buyer lined up to take it off their hands for just the outstanding mortgage - probably a flipper indirectly associated with the lender.

As to the house itself, it's a decent candidate for a relatively fast flip. There's really not that much to be done there. It was completely rebuilt less than ten years ago, and I can guarantee it was rebuilt to code. The hoard is a basic dumpster and pitchfork job. After that, completely strip the walls and floors. Do a little drywall patching and minor repairs. Seal the walls and ceilings with Zinsser BIN and the floors with RedGard (or equivalents). Spray some paint, then toss down some carpet and lino where appropriate. The appliances may be fucked, or the Chandlers might never have even used them. Scrub down the ones that work and replace the broken ones at the local second hand appliance store. Don't even bother cleaning the toilets and other such fixtures that have been fouled by the Chandlers - just toss them when you strip the floors and replace them later. Raze the yard and throw down some sod. Don't bother with any big, expensive work because if the eventual buyer cares enough, they'll remodel it all to suit themselves anyways. And the sort of renters you'd get (this is never going to be a luxury rental) would only wreck expensive furnishing.

Someone could easily do this all themself, but a good crew could turn it completely over in a couple of weeks for a few thousand dollars, making a nice little seller out of it. It won't break market value, but it should go for significantly more than the lender took for it, making for a tidy profit. And local housing values will only go up with Chris gone.

But again, I wouldn't hold on to it, because whoever eventually lives there will end up having to deal with Chris at least once. Also weens.
