The Ugliest House Contest
Have you heard of HomeVester’s Ugliest House Contest?
HomeVestors is known for buying ugly homes, and homes from people in ugly situations, and rehabbing them. Many of the rehabbed homes are sold on the retail market; others are maintained as rental properties.
“To most people ugly is bad, but to us ugly can be tomorrow’s beautiful. Beautiful homes easily attract attention. This contest celebrates the ugly ones – the ones that may be homely now but will become the bell of the block after they’ve had a makeover.”
Rules of the “Ugliest House” contest:
- Any investor can enter ugly houses he/she owns/owned in the area.
- An ugly house cannot be entered if the original occupant still lives there; the original occupant must vacated.
- The ugly house already may have been rehabbed; that’s okay, as long as it was ugly at some point between March 1, 2009 and February 28,2010.
- Houses must have been investor-owned at the time they were ugly.
- There is no limit to the number of ugly houses that can be entered by each investor.
To submit a house in the contest, email ugliesthouse@homevestors.com by March 26, 2010:

- Photos of the nominated houses of what makes each house ugly.
- One-minute videos also may be submitted by first uploading each video to YouTube and then providing a link as part of the submission.
- The name, email address and phone number of the investor submitting the contest entry.
