This home was underpriced, for numerous reasons.

Gerry,
I was going to buy it until I inspected it. Looked nice from the outside. I knew there had to be a catch.
The sink had been draining into the cabinets for years apparently. But it is a block home.

It all depends on neighboorhood and prevaling prices, i.e. CA. They’ve had examples of a home in that bad of condition where they bought for 250K, spent 60K on renovations and sold for over 400K. Very risky but rewarding if you do it right.
They've had episodes where they were "surprised" by something big in the renovation process where I've thought "Darn, shoulda had an inspection." Perhaps they did know about it and it was hyped up drama for TV.

Kelley, I think they thought it was supposed to be like that. I have never seen anything like it in my life.
What really blew my mind was the disposer worked........
