I may have just survived the worst weekend of my life. If you laugh, you owe me advice.

Hubby and I bought our first home on thursday evening. During the walk thru we noticed chinaman soynigger left all his furniture, clothing, FOOD, even his daughters tennis trophies. On Friday I got garbage bags and got to work cleaning.

I found evidence of rats, multiple species of roaches and countless bottles filled with strange black fermenting liquids. The smell was so bad I voluntarily wore an n95 mask, latex dish gloves, and wrapped my head in a scarf to make sure nothing fell in my hair. Hubby couldn't stop puking, so the dirty work was up to me. Not an easy task considering the scattering roaches, strange dried mushrooms, and bizarre rotting fish smell that I still haven't located.

I left the house to get groceries and noticed there was water streaming out the side of my house. Are you ready for this?

Soynigger didn't purge water from the outside spigots,they froze and defrosted. Water was traveling between the wall, thru insulation and escaping through a brick expansion slot. I couldn't locate the interior valve for the spigot, because it was hidden behind drywall. I knocked the drywall out with a screwdriver, tightened the valve and nothing. didn't work. My basement is filling up with water, my back yard is a skating rink. At this point my new neighbor has come over to complain, and I decide to call an old church friend who is a plumber. He walks me through the next few steps over the phone.

I find the water main, it's rusted open. I find a pipe and try to lever it, no luck! I call hubby, as he turns the handle I can see the metal stem twisting.

I call plumbers, nobody is available. They tell me to call my water company, I still don't know who it is. I decide to ask the neighbors, who give me the number...which leads to a voicemail box. I call the fire department.

Four white men show up, access the situation and tell me that my plumbing is all kinds of messed up. The previous owner bypassed the water meter for the second floor (tennants upstairs). These not at all toxic men spend ten mins in my basement and find a way to get it shut off. They remember to turn off the water heaters and heat. Advise me to get my tennants out of the house tonight, and give me the name of a local plumber they all trust. Hubby was out buying a wet/dry vac, even told me which one he should buy.

I get to meet my tennants for the first time. They're all illegal pageets, one of whom is unemployed. They were so happy I put them in a hotel room that they started sending me evidence of the rat and mouse infestation that the previous owner refused to remedy. After I forward their messages to my agent, she calls me immediately. "Sometimesage, go check the electricals in the kitchen and living rooms". What do you know, everything on the rat infested wall is not working. The previous owner ran a series of extension chords behind the cabinets, under the carpet and into another room to get the refrigerator to work.

I have a plumber coming tomorrow to fix the hose pipe.

Seller did not disclose infestation caused electrical damage, rat infestation, roach infestation, or plumbing problems. My home inspector also did not find any of this. The FHA inspector did not find this, this was never discovered in the C.O. My agent sent me a snip of the contract where he claims that the units are totally separately metered. To add insult to injury, the tennants security deposit and rent payments have not actually showed up at my doorstep yet.

I am thankful for the fire department, they came and accomplished more in a few mins than I could accomplish in hours. It was the only reprieve I have.

Please wise poalers, what do you think I should happen next?

I have to move into this house in a month. I'm worried and open to suggestions.

You're not moving in. That's the first thing. Condemn the place. Get a renovation loan and get to work. Get rid of those tenants.

This is why your first home shouldn't be an investment property. You weren't prepared and got greedy thinking you could own a home and get tenants to pay the mortgage and it'll be so easy.

[–] • 11 pts

Agreed. The house is a 100% teardown. Next, hire a lawyer. Come up with tangible damages to send to the previous owners and the real estate agency. It should be pretty straight forward. I'd also sue the inspector. The lawyer can advise you on his liability to you.

You probably have 1% chance of getting any rent. Just cut them loose and evict them.

Good luck!

While we never thought it would be easy, I also didn't think it would all go so wrong this quickly. We've been working very hard for our money, living on less than half our take home pay to make this happen. I gave up our honeymoon, 2nd car and a bunch of other things.

Hopefully tomorrow turns a corner!

You're a slum landlord now. You will learn some things you never suspected before. You will also learn why those who criticize landlords for being greedy bastards are morons without life experience. My advice, repair what you must and no more. Find out which of your tenants will pay the rent, and start getting rid of the others (which can be a nightmare, by the way). To own the kind of building you bought, you must possess a very thick skin. Otherwise, your tenants will eat you alive.

If you need to get rid of them all, have the place develop even worse problems so they just leave on their own. It's already half way there.

Excellent advice.

I made a priority list and am going to start from the top down. If the Tennants don't like me ignoring small problems they can leave.

An all-to-common story.

It would be helpful if you could sell a property without 30% loses just in taxes, realtor fees, and mortgage fees. Then getting involved with a property you had to back out of wouldn't really be that much of a big deal.

Really these exorbitant property purchase taxes etc are a violation of your constitutional right to freedom of movement.

Let your husband worry about it, and support his decisions.

Somehow we saved each other from having mental break downs. He told me to relax and let the lawyers do their jobs.

Tomorrow we will find out!

We have a domesticated street cat who licks her lips every time you say the word mouse. Once the heat is back on, hubby wants to set her free in there.

Must be nice to be able to afford a lawyer

You cannot buy a home without a lawyer, it's baked into the process where we live.

When hiring a lawyer is cheaper than paying for the misrepresented mess you bought.

[–] • 4 pts (edited )

fuck them tenants and fuck that house. you say thursday evening yeah no that deal would of been renigged by thursday at midnight. i'd get a lawyer and unbuy that pos let the street shitters finish it off and buy you a real home not a nignogs trap house. i have so many questions fo the inspector, clearly not inspecting the house i would say. how did none of that get seen and disclosed to you prior to agreeing to a final sell?. theres no way a good inspector with plenty of house building experience cant properly inspect property. you got a bad issue and need a lawyer. tell hubby to get on that asap

[–] • 1 pt

The lawyer, brokers, home "inspector", and agents have a meeting before business hours tomorrow. Hopefully they get their heads together and figure something out.

I'd love to kick the tennants out, but I need their income to pay the mortgage No normal American would agree to rent this place as disclosed. Hubby says "they get what they pay for, and are willing to accept". They could have withheld rent and moved out, reality is nobody else will take them.

We'll see if they stay when I raise the rent.

[–] • 1 pt

If you end up still keeping it for any reason (say they agree to fix and compensate), or in your next home.

Dont use the next inspector offered to you. Hire your own. It costs a few dollars out of your pocket, but it will often find stuff the other inspectors will not find. It has been a worthwhile expense in my previous transactions.

[–] • 1 pt

I did hire my own! I specifically used someone not recommended by my agent.

There is no way for us to back out now. My only recourse is legal settlement or suing him.

[–] • 1 pt

thats a bad situation relying on pajeets for income. street shitters arent going properly pay and now new owners they are going to make you do so much just to get paid. i'd find a way pay that mortage by and reasonable means acceptable through the aryan way. you are currently in a losing battling and would sit and smile and see what happens in next week or two and find a lawyer and consulate with them then go to local library and start searching up the law. clearly the agent just wanted to get that headache off there shoulders and your getting the foot in the ass on the deal. surely hope prayer to our almighty jesus the holy of holy will guide you correctly and place heavy burden on there cold hearts and something good comes of this ordeal. as someone stated i'd find a way pay mortage boot the pajeets who will live in filth anyways and renovate and rent away and find another place to remain and raise a family then what sounds to be slum land. please make sure to pray as much as yaw can to jesus for help on burdening the agent, lawyer and brokers minds towards a proper solution as clearly someone was doing some lying about the house somewhere.

I've been looking thru state laws. Apparently this situation would qualify as "fraud", which carries a 3x damages penalty (so seller would have to pay 4x cost) when he looses in court.

Hopefully it doesn't come to that and he pays a settlement.

[–] • 4 pts

Did you buy this house sight-unseen or what? How did you miss this many things during the walkthrough and home inspector report? Were you not present when the home inspection happened? I really don't see how so much escaped you and your husband in the process of buying the home. You need to be more observant and ask lots of questions when you are looking at going to contract on a home. Buyer beware and all that.

[–] • 6 pts

You're right, Hubby thought the same.

Not only were we present, but we filmed the inspection and walk through. hubby reviewed our videos and has begun time stamping examples of the seller actively hiding the problems.

One outlet in the basement was an obvious roach location, the owner covered it up with a cardboard kitten poster. We didn't find this until I started emptying the cabinets, moving appliances, and removing wall coverings.

[–] • 3 pts (edited )

The seller should be fucking sued into oblivion. I don’t know what it is about chinks and real estate, but the dealings I’ve had with them have been terrible.

All those faggots who go around pretending that “all cultures are equal” can choke on a bag of dicks because not only is that a lie, it’s not even a reasonably believable one.

Asian Americans I don’t really have any issue with, but chinks in particular who weren’t born here are some nasty fuckers, both hygienically and otherwise.

I’ve got my own story with these shitheads, as well. But it pales in comparison to what you’ve described here. My condolences.

The fucker was probably eating the rats and roaches. To him, t’s like having a few chickens is to us.

[–] • 0 pt

Are you familiar with the type of chink who takes and saves every free thing he can get his hands on and is drunk on beer all day? I think that's who we bought a house from.

I found no less than a dozen bottle openers, Heineken bottle tops in little nooks and crannies everywhere. At least 1/3rd of the things he left behind were free promotional items or stolen from a hotel.

[–] • 1 pt

woah they were able to hide all of this??? how did they hide the smell?

[–] • 1 pt

He had a lot of random things in and around the house. ex the kitten poster.

another example is a kitchen counter top spice rack which hid a clearly infested outlet. I found a cabinet with left over cardboard in the base covering holes. He had painted over the cardboard to make it match the rest of the cabinet.

My home inspector's in trouble.

[–] • 4 pts

Sounds like you should be suing the fuck out of whoever did the inspections.

[–] • 1 pt

I agree. After the tenants moved out, I did a walkthrough myself. Found evidence of rotten subfloor in the bathroom.

I'm a first time home buyer with a few weeks of habitat for humanity construction experience under my belt. There is no good reason I should be finding things the home inspector missed.

Step 1) You need a real estate attorney right effing now. This house is twelve layers of willful fraud where the seller knew (or reasonably would know) that it was in no way "as described". You need to unwind the sale and drop this uninhabitable dump.

Step 2) You arent moving in. You are going to sue the seller in civil court to recoup your costs incurred after the sale to mitigate losses (plumber etc).

Step 3) You're suing the house inspector. Generally this is limited to recouping the cost of inspection.

Step 4) You need to have a chat with the real estate attorney you just hired about your responsibility for the tenants until the sale can be unwound, because those costs can add up quickly.

Step 5) You need to have a chat with your real estate attorney about what if any liability is born by your realtor and/or the seller's realtor for not disclosing any of this (this is very jurisdiction-specific and could vary between a lot and none).

[–] • 3 pts

Realistically. Call a good general contractor. get them to do an honest walk through and inspection. It will cost a couple hundred bucks. You two are obviously in over your head.

Find a GC you trust and get to work.

A month is way too short a time frame unless you've tons of money to burn to make it happen that fast. Electrical and plumbing alone will take more than that, especially in freezing conditions.

Plan to rent a trailer or something. tell the pajeets the place is going to be gone, deal with that contract hassle. Maybe you can save it if it is only some plumbing and electrical.

I surely wouldnt put money into it until i had someone who stood to actually make money off it it, who i trusted to some degree, tell me what it needed.

I didnt laugh by the way... it is sad that we arent taught any of this shit anymore.

[–] • 4 pts

I started asking trusted friends and co-workers for GC recommendations. One guy came up twice by unrelated people. I'm going to call him asap tomorrow morning.

if I have to move into a house without a kitchen, I can manage. If I have to live in a house with rats and roaches,...no. no way.

[–] • 1 pt

You poor person, I pity you. You have no idea what you just got yourself into.

[–] • 1 pt

Honestly, take his initial report to the lawyer too. See what you can get or if you can get out of it and start with easier, they remember and use that CG for stuff in the future.

[–] • 3 pts

My agent swears that when an infestation gets to the stage of electrical damage, the insurance company will pay.

Even if they cover it, I still want my own GC watching over the process. I don't want another org. to take advantage of this awful situation.

[–] • 1 pt

No one should ever buy a building such as this without carpentry, roofing, wiring, masonry, flooring and plumbing skills. Also, doors and windows -- this person and her hubby will spend a lot of time and money fixing doors and windows.

[–] • 2 pts

Make sure your insurance is all up to date.... It would be a shame if all the shitty electrical work caused a fire.... Your situation is best resolved with some Jewish lightning.

[–] • 2 pts

Go after the home inspector who failed to do a basic job and spot the obvious problems.

[–] • 2 pts

The main piece of advice you need is - DOCUMENT EVERYTHING.

If you have a plumber come in, tell them that you need everything written down. And written in such a way that you can send it to the insurance company and/or so you can use it in court. You're going to need to tell any GC the exact same thing.

Whenever they give you anything, (estimate, bill, explanation of what the previous owner did, or anything) ask them if you were to hand this to the insurance company, would an idiot paper pushing insurance company employee fully understand it.

Constantly tell them to write everything down so you can give it to the insurance company, or so you can use it in court.

The whole story sounds ridiculous but especially that firemen didn't know how to turn the water off at the street.

Odd...
