Let me start by saying that we bought TWO houses for $8,000 TOTAL, which really kind of says it all, but...
Simply the worst Depression era pack-rat houses I have seen in my 25 years buying and rehabbing.
The HVA Property reporting system asked if there was a mistake when we reported it.
The stench carries 10 feet outside.
Your feet crunch on dead rodents as you walk through the house.
Standing in the kitchen taking pictures, we could hear the critters gnawing on stuff somewhere deep within the depths of the heaps of trash.
The basement of 1748 So. 17th still has a dirt floor.
Last, but not least, we found out at the closing table that the City of Milwaukee had condemned and ordered them razed several days earlier. (But our rock solid investor still bought them and got htem out of the condemnation status!)
