What's the worse house you walked in?
2 yrs ago we were taking a walk in my neighborhood and i stop and look at 2 raccoon on top of the roof of that one house. it was a mamma raccoon and a baby raccoon. holes in the roof, junk cars, overgrown bushes. trees all over. but i never approached the sellers. fast forward 2 yrs and i see about 10 guys in hazmat suits taking garbage out.
one thing led to another and i have this house under a Purchase agreement.
1. there was a family in there. the wife was mentally and physically sick. there were human excrement everywhere
2. carpet, hardwood and sub-floor are trashed
3. there were 2 dead dogs, one dead cat and the skeletons of 2 other animals
3. the window AC was angled toward the hardwood and the entire wall is molded
4. when the crew opened a garbage can there were diapers from the baby in the family. That "baby" is now 29 yrs old and lives in Europe.
5. the husband was believed to have lived out of his car for the last 3 yrs of his life since neighbors would see him in his car and in parking lots in his car in odd hours.
i will post pictures and numbers later. i have 4 houses in that subdivision and i make them beautifully. buy and hold, but i might put this one on a land contract after it's done.

That's going to take VISION! I want to see before and after if you move forward with it!
