I just read about a guy who paid $2.6 million for a house full of crap! In New Jersey! The place was auctioned off because the people that lived there couldn’t keep up mortgage, and the bank foreclosed.
Times are getting tougher. Used to be you could get a decent house full of crap for thirty, forty thousand dollars. Of course that was back when my Dad was paying the bills.
The guy that bought the house said he thought it was inhabitable, that he knew people had been living there, because he saw them coming and going.
But, it turned out the people collected abandoned animals. When the guy went in to inspect the place, he found the rooms filled with dog and cat feces, and the 3-car garage floor covered with dead cats and dogs and animal feces.
They say the owners fell on hard times. So Mr. Opportunist put in a bid and got the place. Capitalizing on other’s misfortune, it’s the American way. But sometimes you get a fistful of crap, to boot. I think there is a card game called crap on your neighbor. This guy lost.
