Before-After--The Bad Kind

[Ed L.]

Below are some photos of a reverse before and after... Hopefully I will be updating this post in the next 3-4 months once it's rehabbed and better than ever.

Little background on the house...

My wife and I were looking to purchase our first home back in 2007. This was one of our favorite prospects, but it went under contract before we could make a offer. Photos are off the MLS from 2007.

Sells price was 149,000 in late 2007... Our market has slowed down since then, but has managed to retain about 90-95% of value from peak....

Asking price is now 46,000 but I hope to buy it for <35,000.

I do believe the idiots that bought the home ruined about every possible aspect.

Pool is ruined. Quoted 6-10K to repair...Single biggest item
Screen porch is destroyed
Front door casing was busted
Leak in kitchen ruined the kitchen floors
They tried painting and got paint everywhere it wasn't supposed to be..
Kitchen cabinets are all jacked up. Salvagable
Falling limb busted the outside ac condenser.
Falling limb poked a hole in the roof above the master bath
Whole house is just smells horrible.
Also seem to have some settling under the back corner of the raised foundation.

I was pretty amazed at how fast it went downhill.

Goal is to buy it for 35,000
Do 40,000 in renovations/repairs
Net Sales Price 120K
Profit after commissions, holding, etc....35,000.00

I just hate disgusting people... They shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.
