Ugly House Photos

Neglected home.

Owned by the same family since 1993.  But they refinanced for $180,000 in 2005.  Perhaps to remodel the home?

The house went into foreclosure.  The bank sold it recently in this condition for $50,500.

We’re not seeing any renovations so far.

None of the $180,000 was spent in the kitchen.

Or in the bathroom.

The bank disclosed to buyers that repairs are needed to the room addition.  Building permits probably needed too.

The bank also said the house has termites and roof problems.

The investor buyer could spend $50,000 and really fix up the place.  Too bad the previous owners didn’t.

Dirty, neglected home in Casa Grande, Arizona.  It’s a good idea to change your air filters once a month.  Otherwise, dirt and dust spread around your house, as seen around the ceiling vent.

There is a lot of potential here.

The living room.

You’ll need to take a shower after taking a shower in this dirty bathroom.

The master bedroom.

Another bedroom.

Are there any clean walls in this house?

Let’s play a game:  Where Did the Money Go?
Phoenix home that was purchased for $82,000 in 1997.  They refinanced for $244,000 in November 2005 (when home values were artificially high).  It went to foreclosure in 2012.  An investor just bought it for $96,000.  So did the sellers get a cash-out mortgage in 2005?  Where did the money go?  Did they remodel the house?  Let’s see.

Not even one penny was spent on cleaning products or hand soap.

New carpet?

Here too?

And?

Or here?

Did they spend the money to remodel the kitchen?

Renovated bathroom?

New flooring and new window curtains?  Anything?

The laundry room.  Check out the dryer vent tubing.

It goes all the way over here and then up.  Clever.

Thanks, hoodlums, for ruining this house.

No one can see your tagging inside, so what’s the point?

Jerks.

The unknown fluid spill in the kitchen probably scared them away.

Older home, built before 1978.  Could have lead-based paint.  Be careful.  Would not pass FHA appraisal inspection.
