the damage are in near perfect condition, but a good home

Ant
Infestation

Broken
Girder Discovered In Locked Crawlspace
|
|
This is one of my
favorites. The seller was present for this inspection and
claimed not to have the keys to the crawlspace. Each time I
inched my way towards the crawlspace he would engage
me in further conversation. I was already suspicious when I
found that the master bedroom was the only room in the house
to be furnished.
