Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The lead character is going into business for him/herself, and hears about a building they can buy. Accompanied by their supportive friend or prospective business partner, they walk in, see the filthy run-down building... and fall in love. They usually say something like, "Isn't it beautiful?", at which point we switch to the friend's POV and/or the stunned look on their face. Often followed by a Fixin' Stuff Up montage. The building usually got this way because fictional cities Never Recycle a Building. Can apply to other buildings and objects as well. The trope plays on POV dissonance between the characters; one sees things as they are, while the other sees things as they could be. The skeptic generally serves as an Audience Surrogate, but the dreamer gets the final say because he's the one paying for it.

At the start of the second season of Angel they fight a paranoia demon in the Hyperion Hotel. It had been the site of numerous suicides, a lynching (admittedly, it was of Angel, so he survived), and a massacre when one of the staff made his morning wake up calls with a shotgun. In the middle of Wesley describing this, Angel declares that they're moving in. It's also not close to up to code, which Gavin tries to use against them. They generally took the approach of moving into a room and making it livable, and ignoring the rest of them. | |

In episode nineteen of Rune Soldier Louie, this is how Merrill views her new house. Her cheerfulness doesn't fade despite multiple mishaps during the Hard-Work Montage. Her True Companions are doubtful, despite this being a step up from her previous run-down shack. | |

Discussed in Civil War (2006), when Doctor Strange conceals the New Avengers in his own mansion, bespelled to look decrepit and boarded up (to twist the knife a bit more, it even wears a "Coming Soon — A Starbucks" banner). | |

Ghostbusters (1984): Ray falls in love with a dilapidated firehouse (primarily because of the sliding pole), and asks when they can move in. Despite Egon's pertinent objections, they end up buying it because Ray provided the startup cash by mortgaging his family property. | |
