I'd find these people more credible if they actually posts county records showing the properties they bought and sold and the actual amounts of the properties.

Just never had the presents of mind to take pictures or video tape. It always amazes me that people can continue to live in such environments. The owners family, neighbors, and governing bodies should be thanking you. You have documented what many have seen - well, maybe not that bad. Good Luck! I have been in some nasty houses.

We are dealing with a mini rat house. Mostly confined to the basement, and the people were not as dirty. Droppings, carcasses, rat urine in wood framing. Horrible! But, I must say, not as bad as yours. Can’t wait to have my partner read this. We are dealing with a mini rat house. Mostly confined to the basement, and the people were not as dirty.

I am now working on cropping them down and combining "before and after" shots into one picture. I'll have them done tonight and will get them to Josh to determine how and where to post them. Don't say I didn't warn you though. Some of the Before shots are just... are just... downright disgusting. Good news sports fans…
