now be warned, i do not have any empirical data or formuals for proof. however, 2 differnt showings have loved my rehab, but said the neighbors are killing it for them and they wouldn't ever live next to such people. quick recap, 6 cars in front of their house, 3 are on grass, other 3 are on driveway or in street. not sure if i should call the city or just talk to them? they have a few kids in their 20's that live there and don't work. instead they sit in their cars that don't run, and blast rap all day. their friends come over, and they blast rap together. cars stop by all the time for 20 seconds, go inside, get 'something' and leave. drugs?? who knows, maybe not...the thing is, they're super friendly people. should i just talk to them about not killing my sale?? lol. i was thikning about offering them 500 bucks to keep quiet and clean for a month or 2 until the place sells, and pay them when the house sells...would yall consider that rude or offensive?? none of this was going on when i bought back in february, but now they're out and about in the summertime, and killing my showings. you guys have any advice?? people drive up, see 10 thugs outside, and no matter how great the house is, don't like the neighbors. don't wanna step on toes, and piss people off when i have a vacant remodeled house..then again, i need to do something. what do you guys thiink?? anyone ever encountered this and have a great solution?? thanks
