They painted the toilet orange.  Isn’t that a neat idea?

As we pan right, we see two cans of Raid bug spray and a knotted curtain.  Ugh.

In the next room, past the knotted curtain, we have to wonder how those books are still standing.

At least they are patriotic.

There’s that knotted curtain!  It makes a statement.

Messy bedroom with soiled carpet.

Why didn’t they hoard/store stuff on top of the kitchen cabinets?

At least there’s an open pathway to the door, so that buyers can escape quickly.

More filthy carpet and clutter in the family room.

What is that black water in the bathtub?  Dirty toilet too.

Short Sale At $65,000

Peoria, Arizona home.  Purchased for $113,500 in 2001.  Refinanced in June 2007 for $176,000.  Sold as a short sale in 2013 for $65,000.  These are photos from 2013.

Being very conservative, let’s assume in 6 years they paid down their original mortgage to $110,000 by 2007.  The refi difference would be $66,000.  Cash-out refi?  To pay off other debts?  Or to remodel the home?  Let’s see if they remodeled.

First stop, the kitchen.  Doesn’t look remodeled.

Appliances are missing.

Now the family room.

And then we look up.  Ugh.

No money spent on new flooring in the living room.

Nor on new doors.

Nor windows.

Let’s see if they put money into new landscaping in the back yard.
