HUD house w/ accepted offer vandalized

[Sue Loomans]

Made an offer on a HUD house in Milwaukee yesterday and it was accepted today. Went to see it again this evening and noticed that the AC compressor has been stolen along with interior copper. It was all intact yesterday, and I have a photo of the compressor. The rear door of the house, though locked, is poorly secured.

Has anyone had a similar experience? Is it possible to receive a discount? I'm expected to sign paperwork tomorrow. Thanks!

Don't sign!

Conditions of property have changed, so has your offer. This might be good to know about the area, in case you didn't already and certainly gives you insight as to what to expect during your rehab.
