My opinion is this… Anyone who strips a home of every light fixture, every appliance, bathroom mirrors, etc. when moving out of a foreclosure should be sued by the banks and/or thrown in jail!
I found this really cute house yesterday that was lender owned. The problem was that in order for it to be move in ready, I would have to spend around $8000. I know no house will be perfect and will need some TLC before move in but not to the tune of $8000. These damaged properties are making it hard for me to find something affordable (especially since the banks don’t think I can afford much of a loan – jerks).
The real estate saga continues. Still searching for short term housing. Ugh… what a wonderful time of the year to be doing all of this. Do I sound stressed? :)
