Murder house.. as rental...thoughts..?

[Brandon P.]

Wondering your thoughts about buying a house where there was a murder suicide in? 

It was happened two years ago..

I know it would have to be disclosed to the tenants ( California) 

Would you buy it?

Any thoughts?

Its in a pretty decent neighbor. I found the news story online. It was a young couple.

So, then one could deduce that if someone died in the home but the manner in which they died is not disclosed , then that would mean they died from HIV or AIDS related condition? I still don't understand why it has to be disclosed at all in the first place. Any way , 3 years would fly by and it would not deter me from buying it at all if the numbers worked and I thought it was a good deal. 

I think that it is common to say 'undisclosed illness', which is also used if you do not want to say heart failure or whatever.  A lot of people do not say exactly what the person died from.  With the 2 houses I sold with a death that is what I used, but one was pancreatic cancer, the other congestive heart failure.  That was not the buyer's or neighbor's business.  

I think that specifying HIV/AIDs in the law goes back historically to a time when people thought that they would get a deadly, non-curable disease from just being around someone with that disease.
