The straw that broke the camels back was when they removed a tenants left behind furniture and charged me $850 to do it without my permission.

And one of my friends had a realtor cancel her open house because the day before he was at a house he had just purchased and his two year old squeezed between the burglar bars on an open patio door, fell in the pool and drowned before anyone noticed.

I believe they sell something to "lime" furniture that you wipe on and wipe off, leaving a white residue that might have the same look.  

This could probably work out for them, yeah they'd start of with no equity in exchange for keeping that 3.5% and using for say replacing furniture.

There was old food, and abandoned furniture.  

Terms you see with things like furniture.  

She left behind some furniture and belongings and her car that was smashed in with a baseball bat with slashed tires. 

But really, in my mind, say you stay there and do some repairs and paint and furniture in the beginning, then maybe some time in between, you might meet those required days.

this is my dilemma I just had a tenant of two years who recently moved out on doing the move out inspection I saw that the carpeting which was installed just prior to the tenants moving in had  black paths around where I guess the beds were, the carpeting has buckled in areas from the heavy furniture that they had and its completely matted and no amount of steam cleaning will restore the carpeting.

My guess is that the type of hands off 'don't want to deal with it' buyer you are looking for is also unlikely to be able to see past the 'ugly' current state of the house.I could imagine it working if you show them something finished (model home) and not show them the current ugly state.I heard a story from a high end ($50k tables) furniture designer who once made the mistake of showing the client the table in progress with clamps, glue and unfinished surfaces etc.
