Crime scene property
Here's an odd one for you guys I found the property here in Florida after repair value of $135,000 I can buy the property for $75,000 it's a relatively good condition might need about $5000 in repairs and clean up here's the catch the cleaning up would involve blood stains on the curtains and bullet holes in the walls from a homicide back in 2011. I know what you thinking, don't buy a house in a war zone, and The funny thing is it's actually in a grade a school district where many people are looking to move too, but unfortunately a freak crime like this happened there between family members. It's a great deal but a little creepy, I did find out though the victim made it to the hospital before they passed, for what it's worth. I'm thinking of a easy flip but very creeped out by it. Any feedback?

I would make a contingency the seller provide you with paperwork that the human matter that was splattered from the bullets was professionally cleaned up. Said work is expensive. It is something that should have happened and paperwork provided. I do not believe just anyone can clean up said mess. IMO, it could possibly hurt you down the road not having that.
