Buying a Stigmatized Property
I am looking at buying a foreclosed property that is labeled as stigmatized. There was a suicide in the house in 2016, and I'm torn on if I should buy it. It's about 50% remodeled already and the rest of the work is just carpet and paint mostly. The bank took the property back for $136k and is asking $194k. Comps in the area are around $250k. I'm not sure what the disclosure laws in Arkansas are when it comes to this kind of situation. Just wondering, anything other than the heebejeebees, would you all buy a property like this? why/why not?
