One, Two, Three Strikes she's out...

So we went and took another long and hard look at the house that had emereged as a clear favorite for us, the one on Hoyt St. This time we brought along the wife's parents, who have little more handy, and house buying experience than we do, and boy did it payoff. Before we even got into the house, her dad had spied what looked like a crack in the foundation. Before we got done, there was tons of water damage that got spotted, in just about every wall in the place. Every level from the attic to the basement had problems.

Now for the most part, this kind of thing happens, but then we found out that our real estate agent had listed this place once before, and neglected to mention that fact to us. All she had told us was this place was "cute", and had been totally remodled in the last year. Turns out originaly the place was totally infested with cats, and reaked of cat urine on top of all of the rest of the problems. Our agent hadn't even hinted that she knew anything about the place. She was perfectly content letting us buy a lemon.

Let me just say this much. If you ever buy a house in Michigan City IN, don't use Middleton Century 21, and don't use Pam Navarro.
