Ugliest Home in the Country: Chicago in the Top Five — Image Courtesy HomeVestors

HomeVestors is holding its annual "Ugliest Home" contest and a Chicago area town home is in the top 5.

Many of the homes look straight out of an episode of "Hoarders" but for the buyer willining to take on a challenge- it paid off. 3 Dumpsters, plenty of sweat, and likely a HAZMAT crew or two and this place was ripe for renovation and flip. 6 months later, the crew was done and he was able to resell.

Original Price: 45k

Resale Price: 162k
