I like the idea, as I'd like more containers to organize my shit in, rather than a crate. But the Dialogue seems eh to me, too pre-war... I wouldn't want to call it estates, but rather have some rugged explorer or something in a bar introduce the idea to you...
But what doesn't make sense is paying after clearing it out, you just killed everybody in there and that guy suddenly makes you pay for a house he technically doesn't own... I mean it makes sense as a game mechanic, but in reality, I'd just laugh at the guy, gun the folks down, and take the hut, if they come to try and make me pay, I'd gun the guy down too. Now it would make sense to buy this information before gunning down the inhabitants, as the information itself is valuable.
