Stinky situation - bank owned foreclosure

Maria S.
Posted

Long-time lurker, first-time poster.

We're looking at a bank-owned foreclosure. The issue is that even though the property looks to have been "cleaned" it stinks. Think litter box abandoned for weeks/needing a respirator to walk through all rooms stench.

The floors are laminate/vinyl throughout and will need to be replaced. The laminate has moisture damage in the middle of each floor. Looks like someone/something did their business in the middle of each room and left it to sit. The question is will the drywall need to be stripped or would an Ozonator deal with it? If yes, any tips or suggestions?

Also, in your experience, how likely are the banks to budge from the price they have listed it at?
