Forest, Spiders, and a Wrecked Car: American TikToker Justus Reid Bought a House in the Balkans for 5000 Euros!
Have you ever dreamed of buying a house for just 5000 euros? American TikToker Justus Reid did it — but he had no idea what he was getting into! His friend told him he would sell him a little house in the forest somewhere in the Balkans. Justus searched for three hours, and the house was so overgrown that he had to come back the next day with a car. And yes, he damaged his car in the process!
The house had no electricity or water, and spiders were everywhere inside. “Not so bad,” Justus joked, but it’s clear he’s in for a wild summer of renovations. His Instagram followers immediately started commenting — some warned him he overpaid, others joked it’s the perfect place to make rakija or hide if war breaks out.
Although Justus didn’t reveal the exact location, followers guess the house is in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This story sparked a flood of comments and laughs, but also questions — is buying property in the Balkans for such a low price really as great as it seems?
If you’ve ever thought about buying a house in a remote part of the Balkans, maybe think twice. Justus’s adventure shows that buying a house for 5000 euros might just be the start of a battle with nature and unexpected problems. So, would you dare take on such a challenge? Or have you had similar experiences? Share your stories — maybe you’ll make us all laugh or warn us!
