Always a surprise with homes in preforeclosure

I’m always amazed at some of the homes that I look at. This is a picture of the toilet in a home that’s in preforeclosure. It looked as if they lost the top to the tank and used cardboard with one of those fuzzy covers in an attempt to replace the lost top. I thought it would be a good pic to show here, so I snapped it with my Blackberry.

This property is 3600 square feet and in one of the nicer neighborhoods in my local market. As I walked in, I felt compelled to strip down because the ac unit decided to give up the ghost. And what a time to give it up - during the “dog days of summer” while we’re having scorching, record highs. Thermostat on the inside read to be over 90 degrees…

This house has problems.

And more importantly - the owner has problems.

Just goes to show you - there are people from all walks of life with problem houses. Some come in good neighborhoods, bad neighborhoods, and the super wealthy neighborhoods….

House is scheduled for foreclosure tomorrow.

I guess, we’ll see what happens…
