I just did 6 row houses and two looked better then this and four looked worse.
Feel sorry for people who live like this.
They all had children and you can guess what they will grow up like .

$250,000:00 might have improved the places just a bit.

Brian; Did you have to use the toilet? If you had too, did you offer to help clean up to get to it, and after ask how you flush it?
I do not see a toilet tank or flushometer valve.

How do you get in to those predictaments, Brian. ha. ha.

I didn't order any home inspection. What were you doing in my spare bedroom? Did you find my mother-in-law?

That looks like my grandson's room when he lived with us.

I made him clean it up--completely--one time, and he found a band of Gypsies living under the rubble. He wanted to charge them rent (he figured he'd make a buck or two)

I though that would be a good idea , so I said I'd kick him out and rent to the Gypsies. He didn't like that idea so much...

Completely disclaim those rooms, so your covered.

hey Brian,
Isn't that one of those self cleaning litter boxes they sell for a hundred bucks or so?
What-batteries not included. Guess I'll save my money.

I just don't understand how people can live like that!? Makes ya wonder what the "buyer" was thinking. Hmmm "nice place...could use a little cleaning"?

Just what you want; The litter box next to the waffle maker. Who wants some Belgium Waffles? Just above the litter box is the rotisserie machine. NICE.

Makes ya wonder what the "buyer" was thinking.

I've bought buildings with apartments that bad, and worse.

Back in the day - before they made "Invasion of the Filppers" - you could get some terrific bargains that way.

I remember one - actually a basically sound property - where a tenant had placed self-adhering cork tile above the kitchen counters and the range, and then did a lot of high-fat cooking.

I lifted the corner of a tile (this was before I became a HI) a bit to take a peek at the wall below it, and around 5' of tile and the wall-paper underneath just fell off the wall.

It was saturatedwith maggots, which spilled out over everything, the buyers and the Realtor included - she lost her lunch in the sink.

I think that problem alone reduced the price by around $5K on a building listed at $120,000.

It is always nice to have a choice of beverage while sitting on the can

Here's what I say: "The residence was abundantly furnished and cluttered with belongings. In accordance with industry standards we only inspect those surfaces that are exposed and readily accessible. We do not move furniture, lift carpets, nor remove or rearrange items within closets and cabinets. The abundance of furniture and belongings restricted our access to outlets, windows, walls, doors, and floors."
