The Strangest Thing You Ever Saw?

As a real estate investor you see all kinds of really WEIRD stuff.

I remember inspecting an attic for a house i was thinking about buying. It was full of HAY. Yes Hay.. like in straw! The owner needed more insulation and thought the hay would be cheaper. I told the owner that that hay could easily catch on fire in the summer time when it gets to 110 outside and probably 180 in the attic.

Another time, i went to talk to a motivated seller. She met me at the door in a see-through night gown. She was 60-something. The air conditioner broke and she was trying to stay cool.

I inspected a Lonnie Deal that had a pot growing room with black lights.

The list goes on and on.

What's the strangest/weirdest thing you ever saw?

Replied

Chicken coops inside the bottom cupboards - yep the tenant had ripped off the doors, placed in his chickens and then put up the wire over the doors. PS this was in the 30th story penthouse apartment!.
