Properties like this were catnip. It puts off casuals, but is a relatively easy fix. Knew a guy who often bought a property like this, tore everything out, filled a container, aired it all out, would often make a 50k profit. No painting, no renovation, just a general clean, wipe down with bleach, and removal of crap.
I’d happily scoop up a turd with my bare hands, if I was being paid 50k to do it. Let’s be honest, most of us would.
Of course, this kind of property also attracts people who think they’re good at DIY and underestimate how much stuff costs to fix properly. The Money Pit basically.
There’s shit on the carpet for fuck’s sake!
You’d think they’d edit the photo just a little.
It’s unapologetically just near the toilet, how do they think anyone’s buying this?
I worked in real estate.
