Anyone looking for a home right now might come across an ad for JIMI HENDRIX' Brother's House on local real estate websites. That would be eye-catching enough, but the description adds even more intrigue. Instead of the usual hype--something like "immaculate charmer with spacious dining room and decorator's colors"--it reads: "House is full of trash. No water or power, and needs repairs. Preforesclosure." The modest Wedgwood split-level fronted by towering evergreens is priced at just under $500,000.
