There is a pretty good chance that I wouldn't have even gone inside.

I was thinking the same thing, when I saw the picture.
I'd believe you could build anew, with what you'd spend on the amount of fix up materials to make that place liveable...

I hope you noted the torn window screen.

I don't think I would even put the transmission in park when I pulled up to either one of those.

My agreement:

"WE reserve the right to charge an additional fee for homes in distress, cluttered, foreclosed; failure to notify US of such a property at the time of scheduling may result in the inspection being aborted and the CLIENT will be responsible for a $150.00 travel fee."

Hope you got paid a lot for those POS's.

Joe,

Can you email me a copy of your agreement? I like some of the verbiage that you have posted in the past and might want to consider adding it into my agreement.

Thanks
