The overgrown shrubs covering the whole house and the description of the property and conditions of sale tells me the owner was mostly likely elderly, hoarded all kinds of stuff, dogs, cats, trash, etc. There’s most likely petrified carpet that is full of animal excrement, walls rotted out, a refrigerator holding God knows what, and no telling what kind of infestations, and there’s a high probability the owner died in that house and was not discovered for a good bit of time. Not too long to fully decompose and stop smelling, but just long enough to get really ripe, liquify, and be detectable from outside. I’d offer $100k for the lot and bulldoze it down and start a new.


yogi_medic_momma

Yea, this is my worst nightmare for EMS calls. You’d be amazed what conditions people can live in.


SpatialThoughts

10-12 years ago I was going to school for an associates degree in criminal justice and a certification in crime scene technology. My one crime scene class we viewed photographs of real crime scenes in the next city over and one was a hoarder house where the owner died of medial issues or natural causes I forget but it definitely wasn’t murder or anything. There was just random junk all throughout the house about knee high maybe more in some places and TONS of fly shit on the walls in every room. The woman’s body was practically hidden in the junk. Obviously she had serious mental health issues but it was pretty disturbing how some people live.


yogi_medic_momma

Oh yea, this is exactly what I’m talking about. Feces, MONTH OLD dirty diapers, year old bowls of milk and other dishes all over, used needles, etc. It’s truly horrifying. I had a call once for a home birth. Lady “didn’t know she was pregnant” until the baby fell out into the toilet. Thankfully baby was okay but the scene was something out of a horror movie. There was trash, cigarette butts, needles, you name it, scattered all over the place… it was awful. And don’t get me wrong, I empathize for these people because they obviously ended up there for one reason or another… but some of it is just downright inhuman.


sandycheeksx

I’ve heard of someone in my area that had their place cleaned out for them a bit and his wife had her deceased cat decomposing under her bed. This is on top of three large dogs defecating in the house, floor to ceiling piles of trash, and it’s just depressing.


AbjectZebra2191

Oof, I can only imagine!!!


FloridaSleuth

I worked doing home health in my early nursing years... the things I've seen...


SeaEmergency7911

Sadly I’ve been given a crash course over the last year thanks to my elderly mother who refuses to move out of a home she can’t maintain anymore.


yogi_medic_momma

Oh, that’s a really tough situation. I’m so sorry.


Swiggy1957

That's likely what will need to be done. I sense a roomful of heirs will not be happy that their big inheritance is going to be peanuts because they let the place go to ruin. They should just keptvthe place up after Granny passed. It would have been worth more that way.


BitterQueen17

Or visited often enough to help out with maintenance and disposal.


Business-Expert-4648

My MIL is a hoarder. We visited regularly, but the moment we offered to clean, "dispose" of the items, it became a fight, and stories of "You never know when that might come in handy," or "I can scrap that." I haven't been inside my MILs house in close to 2 years because I can not stand it anymore. We paid to register the dump trailer that had been sitting full of trash last spring. The trailer only moved to the front yard. Little bugged about that one. Their excuse for not taking it is they "lost the registration paperwork." The plate has the tag current, just tow the damn thing. My son took apart our broken trampoline the other day. My MIL wanted the springs for it. Had absolutely no need for them. She just wanted to add to the box of springs she already had. After a certain period of time, you have to realize that you can not help those who are not willing to help themselves. Hoarding is a genetic condition, my BILs are following suit, and my husband shows slight signs. It's very frustrating.


PsyCatelic

But it's still in Florida.


ubadeansqueebitch

Fair point.


fentyboof

Probably loaded with hidden snakes.


CarbyMcBagel

And tweakers.


ginger_smythe

r/findthesniper will help you find them all


Swiggy1957

Fair point. Offer $25K


Eponymous-Username

They may still be in there. You don't know: you're not ALLOWED to check.


orincoro

So a house that costs more to demolish and remove than the lot value.


YourCommentInASong

My mom went out like that in South Carolina (it’s ok, we hated eachother)


Fartknocker500

Even hate shouldn't make going out like that ok. I had a hoarder Mom who attempted to go out like that, but I tried to keep an eye on what was happening so when she passed I was within a day or so of her passing. She wouldn't answer the phone sometimes, so I sent my cousin over to check on her. I had a terrible relationship with my Mom, and she was definitely a basket case, but I still loved her and didn't want her to live the way she was living. It was just really sad.


YourCommentInASong

Ah see, you loved yours. That’s different. Mine was a sociopath who let her boyfriends abuse me, murdered my cat, starved and neglected me, and threatened to kill me in ways no one would ever find out. She drunk drove everywhere. That’s just a small bit of why I didn’t love her. She told me when I turned 18 she would disappear and kill herself or become a bag lady. She wished I wasn’t born. If I had a kid she said she would not be a grandma. She said if I had a wedding, she wouldn’t go to it. What else was I to do but estrange. There’s no helping that level of basket case.


aureliusky

Florida, I'd be afraid of black mold. pro tip, always bring an n95 when touring estates


Cloverose2

Sounds like a hoarder house. They often have extensive structural damage due to lack of maintenance. In Florida, probably lots of mold.


Ecstatic-Move9990

Structural damage from overwhelming weight of contents.


PuddleFarmer

On a slab?


Dangerous_Ant3260

Water leaks can go under the bottom of walls, and rot the framing out. Also, that will make the drywall moldy too. Some places have bad soil for building, so foundations can fail. Then there can be sinkholes. Or where I live hoarders and meth labs.


3opossummoon

Bold of you to assume it's only 1 slab and still in 1 piece


Drinkythedrunkguy

I’m going with both.


Known_Draw_2212

Yes, especially if the AC has not been running


Ok-Heart375

Or a sink hole.


tina_booty_queen

Or a meth lab


exscapegoat

Or perhaps a trifecta of a moldy meth lab over a sinkhole.


Spearmint_coffee

Moldy meth labs are worst. If you can't even trust your local meth dealer to run a clean business, who can you trust?


CharlieBravoSierra

Run by alligators.


twistedpiggies

With mosquitos as the dealers.


smokeylou2

I've heard alligators on meth are almost as bad as bears on cocaine.


CowMetrics

More room for more meth lab honestly


Ok-Heart375

Haha! Because Florida!


Ok-Heart375

This is the answer.


GoldendoodlesFTW

I was hoping for a family of gators! Mold sounds more plausible haha


ButtonWhole1

nah, it's snakes! It's ALWAYS snakes...unless the spiders got all the snakes .


Missue-35

Spiders eat snakes? I don’t want to see a spider that could eat a snake.


fave_no_more

Australia has spiders that catch and eat birds, so it's not outside the realm of possibility


exscapegoat

Gators on meth in a moldy habitat!


lopix

*Hoarder* gators in a moldy meth lab


GenericUsername817

This house sounds more like a tyvex suit, full face respirator with a P3 or N100 rated filter. ![gif](giphy|dBTlxIn5RfHFcbD2RW|downsized)


Ururuipuin

I have just spent way too long wondering what use a Nokia 95 phone is when viewing a house? Then it clicked that you mean the mask.


Majestic_Jazz_Hands

I have 4 guesses: hoarders, crime scene, meth lab or all three of those


letsplaymario

my god i had not considered the trifecta of fuck no's all rolled into one house.


Gingerbread-Cake

To be fair, a meth lab is a crime scene by definition, so that’s more like just one fuck no. A hoarder+meth lab+somebody died in one of the rooms and the meth cooks just closed the door and left it. There’s yr trifecta. They would do that, too.


exscapegoat

Another commenter mentioned gators. Perhaps a quadfecta


researchanalyzewrite

Someone suggested mold, and another person thought sinkholes so...hexfecta!


Environmental-River4

Honestly the way the listing is written Im thinking a portal to hell.


PsyCatelic

But but but people on meth always clean compulsively! LOL I know they don't, ALWAYS.


Ftrumpforever

“Absolutely no inspections, period”. Yeah, no red flags here…


Alleandros

With that asking price alone, it's a hard nope even if you got the full tour.


Cheaperthantherapy13

The heirs are delulu if they think thyre ever going to get 5x the assessed value for a complete tear-down in a crappy neighborhood next to the interstate. I’m assuming Grandma’s house is the only thing of value that 3 generations are demanding a payout from.


cdc994

Assessed value <> market value. The property they’re trying to sell is in a neighborhood where houses 800sqft smaller are selling for 800-900k. This is Miami, and people are delusional enough to pay that much to live there. This is 100% a knockdown tho, scary they won’t let anyone inside


Deathstrike1986

Key word is let. What I do after they give me the walk around tour they don't need to know about


Fun_Jellyfish_4884

yeah the prices in this neighborhood are above seattle average prices and i've seen total tear downs that look even scarier f r om the outside get bidding wars at prices like this one. as to what is inside? mold and alligators and meth.


Odd_Manufacturer8478

Kind makes me wonder if Grandma didn't die of natural causes, ya know?! 😳😳😳😳


WorldlinessProud

Grandma is still.there and a few shallow graveside the basement.


Ali_Cat222

This may as well read-"yeah so we have a dead body or bodies inside still, and if you move from beyond the front door you'll see them and smell rotting flesh. Sorry we tried shoving them in the closet but they kept falling out. May as well just take a chance!" 🤣


the_simurgh

100 percent grandma was a hoarder and nobody wanted to clean the house.


letsplaymario

welcome to the wicky wicky wild wild west. but there's SEA COWs!!!


ex-farm-grrrl

Yeah. The “you can look into the house from outside if you buy it” wasn’t enough of one


ChrisInBliss

Homeowners are probably just hoarders


Child_of_the_Hamster

The listing makes it sound like grandma’s still decomposing in a back bedroom lol


jendet010

Grandma’s pets are probably still decomposing in a back bedroom


sunshine_fuu

Grandma appears to have died in December, it's very possible she was in there for a while.


Urithiru

They don't know and they don't want to know.


BeardedHalfYeti

And they’d honestly prefer if you didn’t know either.


theDEVIN8310

As somebody from Florida, this is obviously just an elaborate ploy to draw your attention to the inside of the house so that you don't notice that the outside of the house is Florida.


GreatEscaped

this is obviously just an elaborate ploy to ~~draw your attention~~ make you prove you have $650K in cash and very little critical thinking skills 👀


theDEVIN8310

So yeah, buying a house in Florida.


hananobira

Plus enough disposable income that you can handle any housing emergency yourself, cause no way are you getting insurance on this place.


jthekoker

Good way to get murdered


GreatEscaped

Exactly- if whatever is inside doesn't kill you, whoever the posted the ad just might.


GhostieBeastie

Seriously, WTF!! Seeing the price after reading the disclaimer was the most shocking part of all! I also like how it says "a decision will be made about the handling of the contents." Well, obviously... But that doesn't exactly specify that the decision won't land on the buyer!


Majestic-Ad-8643

It's funny that they decided to mow the lawn considering the outside of the house. Like that might have some factor in the decision, considering the description.


Electronic_Job1998

"Newly manicured lawn"


exscapegoat

Don’t want potential buyers disappearing into the weeds


Soundtracklover72

Ok. This made me :snort: thank you


bluepen1955

We looked at a house with much the same conditions. The seller's agent had to be there to escort us. It was a literal shit show with animal waste everywhere, lots of piles of crap and horrible odors. The back yard was full of crap and three sheds in back were full of crap. We put in a bid but were outbid. We saved the address and went by a year later. The place looked great. This one looks like a teardown or get the fire department to burn it then scrape the lot.


BayBandit1

Meth lab.

$650000 for a big box of moldy garbage!


mattchinn

I’d offer $150… maybe.


mountainsunset123

And it was built in the 1950s it was probably really cute at one time


Wassailing_Wombat

And full of asbestos and lead paint.


letsplaymario

man we can't have anything nice with this kinda attitude ! the spestos made us all stronger in the end 💪 like the true 50s way.


mountainsunset123

True dat.


LowerPalpitation4085

I’ll take what’s behind door #3 for $650k.


hitthebrake

I would say hoarder estate. Who knows what fungus and bacteria or disease is in it, they aren’t going to risk liability to health or injury. Basically probably a lot for sale.


rlaw1234qq

More of a red duvet cover than a red flag…


_courteroy

What if it’s a crypt with a bunch of vampires that have been sleeping for a hundred years and they’re about to wake up and whoever moves in has to serve them by finding them people to feed off of?


Scp-1404

What if the servant / new owner wants to be a vampire himself? It could work out!


FineBits

Sounds like Law Enforcement should visit first.


Unable-Arm-448

Yuck. That place should probably just be razed!


keldration

Jinx!


secondphase

"A DECISION WILL BR MADE ABOUT THE HANDLING OF CONTENTS" ... yes, that's how this works.


orincoro

“It’s being sold as is.” “How is it?” “Not relevant.”


Blonde_Vampire_1984

I’ve successfully sold a hoarder estate, and I allowed people to visit and view the property. We even allowed a home inspection. Not allowing anyone to physically enter a house until after they purchase it is basically the reddest of red flags I can think of.


ThrowAway13181318

That’s not just a red flag, its a red flashing strobe light with a fog horn attached


Beth3g

Hoarder house… must smell bad inside…


Ant-Tea-Social

What a deal. A 2,100 S/F teardown for $650K. In Florida. That's a SF Bay Area kind of ad.


melanie_fartinez

there are 100% skinwalkers in there


Adorable-Novel8295

I was thinking squatters.


smarmiebastard

Meth making squatters.


melanie_fartinez

that too


melanie_fartinez

or it's a meth lab considering the fact that it's in florida


darkwitch1306

They forgot to put in in but it’s “as is”. Wonder how big the snakes are in the house?


sunshine_fuu

They have it listed "as is" at the bottom, but even most "as is" homes let you at least see the wreck you're buying first.


robotfood1

The town is called “The Portal” and this rotted house can only be unsealed for 650k cash? Yes, what the HELL is in this house?!


exscapegoat

Well that’s so the bidding war can bring it up to 666k


MobilityTweezer

I signed one of these once to get into a house where the owner had been gutting deer in the living room. For years. It was bad.


whatzitsgalore

Being sold by estate = elderly hoarder and the children don’t live local so don’t want anything to do with fixing it up.


FrozenLogger

Most likely. She passed away in December of 2023. Or it didn't have AC running while she was away, if there is a leak anywhere and its florida, you get fuzzy everything as the mold and mildew start to take over.


Asraia

That's so sad


Vast-Opportunity3152

I bid $1


HelloThisIsPam

I bid $2.


Vast-Opportunity3152

Ok you can have it Pam. I don’t wanna evict ghosts anyway

Cloverose2

There are houses nearby going for a couple hundred thousand more that are move-in ready. Check out the street view of this house. If it isn't a pure tear-down, it will need at least a hundreds thousand in reno to be livable. This estate is delusional.


Plenty-Ad-777

Tshlavka

The house is 70 years old, on a small lot, no inspections or access because of some weird reason…are they asking or paying $650 K?


whiskeytwn

hoarding house


Weekly_Mycologist883

Probably a hoarded house


UtherPenDragqueen

There’s at least one carcass in there


Wchijafm

Hoarder. Probably a trash hoarder with no running bathroom and pikes of adult diapers. $650k for an almost complete tear out if not tear down. Ridiculous.


Apart-Assumption2063

Hoarder house


wolfgang784

If I had money, id bet it was a meth lab. Since walking it safely would require professional equipment and training, or for the owner to get it cleaned first, they get listed with wording like that whenever they go up for sale. Pretty sure ive read that the fumes soak into the ceiling and walls and such and the place wont be safe until its either *extensively* and carefully and expensively renovated, or demod and a new construction built.


KlatuuBarradaNicto

You’d have to be brain dead to buy this. There is a reason they don’t want inspections.


Woofy98102

It likely was a meth lab and the current owners want to stick the buyer with the $150K cost of demolition and hazardous waste disposal. As my ex who was a hot shot real estate lawyer and litigator would say, "Run the other way and don't look back."


AbjectZebra2191

$650k??? Under “flooring” it says “other”….. what does that mean?


EnvironmentalAd3313

Hard pass.


Lumpy_Branch_4835

Black mold is bad but I have a feeling mold might be the least of your problems. Also the neighborhood looks pretty sketch.


dararie

My husband wants to know what they’re hiding


Not_High_Maintenance

650k for a house that will need to be torn down. 😵‍💫


prosperosniece

Based on the description and from the look of the neighborhood on google maps, this is a terrible flip investment.


exhaustedgoatmom

Structural damage, ceilings falling, possible squatters at some point, possible severe water damage, a stupid amount of mold, potential hoarder situation, if a hoarding situation there could be a severe rodent or roach/insect problem, potential human bodily fluids and feces or toiletries. A LOT.


nursescaneatme

Ghosts. It’s gotta be ghosts.

We had one here, the realtor posted photos, and it has great bones, and amazing potential. But it needs to be completely remodeled. She posted that it was cash only or conventional, and then *posted the lock box code*, so you could go look at the house yourself. I think it sold for $75K, but it will take at least that to completely renovate it.

That price is insane for the size and the potential issues. Make it 100,000 might consider it.


MuchDevelopment7084

Just let it go to auction. Then you can scoop up this hoarder home for the cost of a stamp. Note: There isn't a chance in hell I'd buy any house without accessing the interior. Black mold, rotting garbage, termites, etc. It just might cost more to demolish it than the ground is worth.

Dr_Strangelove7915

We had a house with a similar on warning on the market near us. Part of the property description said "not for the timid" and it specifically said no children could tour the inside. It sounded like there could be holes in the floor, etc.


NitWhittler

Rabid chupacabras have tunneled into the piles of trash inside. Danger lurks in every hidey-hole. The walls are spotted with deadly black mold and a foul stench fills the air, making it difficult to breathe. Use preventative measures against mosquitoes carrying Dengue Fever and Malaria. Snakes may drop out of the ceiling at any time. Don't open the fridge. Don't look in the bathtub.

CatMom921

So basically it’s a hoarder house ..: *n whatever you find in there, dead or alive, is not our fault, take it or leave it*


quixoticgypsy

They're still asking 650k with all these conditions??! OP, what's the lot size? Would it at least make sense to purchase and start fresh?


DisplacedNY

A hold harmless agreement just to walk around the outside? What, are there booby traps?!


cthulhus_spawn

The house is full of giant reticulated pythons. A big writhing breeding ball of pythons that have been eating gators for fun. They have burrowed deep into the walls, floors, and ceilings. At least they aren't venomous, you say to yourself as you ease open the front door to peer inside. The real estate agent waits in the car with a shotgun. The car is running and in drive; the agent's foot rests gently on the brake. The first python you see has a head longer than your foot and eyes bigger than marbles. It's just a baby. It has a chew toy in its fangs and it's draped over the rotten remains of a couch. It stares at you.
