Gruesome Murder
I am a buy and hold investor in upper class neighborhoods in the centrally valley area of California (lemoore, hanford, Fresno and Visalia). The perfect house came up 3 car garages, 4 bedrooms, 2100 square feet, newer house, pool etc. Only problem, a year ago the couple was going through a divorce and the husband tourtured slit the wives throat and threw her in the pool to die. Would this scenario prevent you from buying it?
Has anyone had a house with a gruesome past? Has it affected them? Any comments and story of experience would be appreciated. Trying to figure out if this is a great opportunity or the biggest liability/headache.

How about save the $5K and just pretend you did it since the people you are paying are just pretending they are doing something anyway.
I purchased a house where the guy died in a lawn chair in the backyard. Neighbors found... smelled him eventually. Didn't have any problems getting paid on that one. I own an apartment that had 2 tenants in the same unit die within 3 months. Funny thing is I told the 2nd tenant who was the roommate of the 1st one that passed that as long as he paid the rent, he could stay until he left feet first. Guess I kept my part of the bargain on that deal.
