Untidy and Full

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.

I feel ill…:shock:

I don’t have any pity on people that live like slobs. My grandmother used to say it costs money to buy fancy clothes, it cost money to have a fancy car, but it costs little or nothing to be clean or keep a clean house, and that she did.

Very wise grandmother!
