Funny foreclosure stories

[Francois D.]

Hello to the community, 

I am an experienced pre-foreclosure buyer in the Houston area and I have a team of bird dogs knocking on doors in the weeks before the auction. That team is always growing and over the years I have had tons of funny stories, and I will start with one. Feel free to post your own so we can all have a good laugh.  

I was climbing into the attic, of a house without power, I had my high power flash light (very proud of it, the biggest one you find at home depot). As  I was scanning my light, I became nose to nose with a huge snake! I almost fell off the ladder and got a bit scared, after all I was alone in a dark house with a snake.  When I came back to my senses I realized the snake was dead and had been preserved in a jar. 
I later found out that in certain Asian culture, keeping a snake like this is a sign of luck. 

I did ok with that house, so I would say yes, it is a sign of good luck.

To this day I have kept this snake in my own garage.

Cheers.
