talk em down bring it home clean it up polish what can be polished Coat of paint on what ever needs it and resell it.... Eventually you will break even

I knew a fellow that did that with cars... made a fortune. one car at a time. All he did was buy them get the engine steamed and detail the interior... He would buy em for six hundred or so and sell them for 1200 or so... didnt turn a screw or replace anything other than that which would make the car safe to drive.

Buying a house sure isn't like buying a car, I don't think I ever want to do it again. We had no problem with the approval, just the whole process sucked. The people that were selling the house were not living there. So a few days before closing we looked the house over again, anxious to move to our new home. We peeked in the windows and noticed the nice stainless steel fridge was gone, no fridge. And the washer and dryer were gone out of the back room. They were listed as going with the house, and were there when we were showed it with our realtor. I called up our realtor and he got back to us and said theirs said they would put them back, and said the owners were talking about having us arrested for trespass. We got a walkthrough the day of closing, at closing our lawyer asked if they were put back, yeah an old crappy fridge and washer (the washer ended up not working). He said well we will tell them they have to knock it off the price (sellers didn't even show for closing) I said no we are buying a house not appliances, lets just get're done. That wasn't even the bad, the wait was.

here it is...
Yes we got taken.
Long story but a true lesson to others.
We do not plan to sell or move ever so we do not plan to buy again but others can learn from our mistake.
I am not perfect and freely admit I made a mistake based on she was an elderly lady.

Oh My Goodness,
This can happen to anyone even those whom have bought before.
We bought this home and ag land by putting in an offer as is. We knew from the fist time we saw it that it needed work. The second time we had the Realtor's permission to walk around the outside as he was busy with another client when we wanted to see it a second time. That is when we put in an offer as is. We went through the closing 4 weeks later and went directly to the house after the closing. We noticed many plants around the house had been removed. Later we heard from a neighbor that the womans adult kids removed all the plants they wanted. Inside was more disappointing. The frigerator was swapped out for a frig about 25 years old in a house around 12 years old. The stove was again appx 25 years old an was a different color than when we saw the house. The microwave was completely burned up inside it and looked as if it had been on fire when the micro that was inside the house sitting on the shelf was also a different color. A cast iron wood burning. stove in the sun room was gone completely. Both washer and dryer were also appx 25 years old in a 12 yr old house. The Hot water heater was broken. We looked back at all pics of house on line as they had not been removed yet at that time and no pics revealed what the appliances looked like at all. We should have taken pics of the appliances inside the house when we looked at it. We had bought before, we had built before. We were surprised as no one had ever done this to us before. We called the Realtor whom had left for vacation for two weeks after the sale of our house. We talked to him when he returned. The woman that sold us the house saying nothing was wrong with the house, thou' we could see there were a few things needing repairs, died. She died? She died within a month of selling us this place. The old woman never got to spend the money she got from us. She had willed everything to her kids. All 4 of them. She lived with one of her daughters while this was up for sale. I dont know who switched all the appliances. And I said to my husband to let it go. Her kids made out financially. BUT They lost their mother. I dont care how old a woman is or how many crosses she hangs on her walls... Take pictures, write down make, model and serial number and appx age. You know,... That info was not listed in the for sale ad. Just that the appliances all convey. Take pictures. A picture is worth a thousand words. We had no ground to stand on. We dropped it when we heard she had died. I was told to go after her adult kids. They had been seen up here digging up plants. We had no way of knowing who switched the appliances. Most people never send in those pesky warranty cards anyways. Some say she was Judged and paid the price. I felt death was a high price to pay for cheating. Wondered if sge died with a quilty conscience. Worse (to me) she moved out to live with her daughter leaving cats, cats, and more cats to run around the property. We actually dod not see the the first visit here and saw only pne the second visit here. But after we moved in slowly they revealed themselves to us. Old cats abandoned at the farm she sold us! I heard from neighbors that she had lots of cats bc of the mice and snakes. They all lived outside. A pack of coyotes ripped through here an tore into her old abandoned cats and our baby chickens the first year here. Take pictures. No not of her cats and our chix but of appliances an everything else in and around a place your buying.
