Is this property a good deal if you put a lot of work into it or just a nightmare? I'm pretty sure someone died in here too.
Please give me feedback and tell me this would be a mistake or not. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/9301-Old-Georgetown-Rd_Bethesda_MD_20814_M63122-69393 |

Auctions can go in strange ways.
Be sure you know what it's worth if sold conventionally. Understand why they are choosing auction to sell. Know your maximum bid. My grandpa died in his home. And my grandma died in a senior apartment. That kind of thing happens. It looks like an old person's house with a young person also living there. Or maybe a partner. It looks like they've been trying to do maintenance. Do not overbid based on comps. You could try knocking on neighbors' doors to see what they are like and what they know. Somebody visited our house once to ask about our neighborhood. |

Also at first I didn't understand the easement but it looks like that relates to the neighbors in the houses next door. I assume they need to drive over the yellow house's asphalted/concrete front yard to get to their houses.
That probably relates to how they separated their set of properties from Old Georgetown Road. And that whole situation might prevent you from modifying that area to make better curb appeal. Or keeping neighbors off your property. For example if you wanted to make a grass front yard with a fence. |

| I’d want a good inspection. Looks like a vet clinic and flooding via the ceiling tile. If you are ok on old Georgetown it could be ok or a tear down. I’d assume someone died there. Maybe no relatives? Or, why not get some dumpsters and clean it out. |

Really? Why? Was the topic the same? I didn't see any thread about this... |

Maybe the owner asked it down? It was a vet clinic that closed a year ago and vet had some accusations. |

wow! Is this related to the Del Ray Animal Hospital in Alexandria? I thought they had a Dr. Favis/Ferris there. |

| Oh it looks so sad. The walker and tree and living in a bedroom with a little microwave. God I hope we don't end up like that. |

Read. IT's being sold AS IS. No inspection. Black mold. |

Are they not allowing inspectors on the property? As-is doesn’t mean that a prospective buyer cannot get an inspection for their own information. It means that the sellers won’t address any issues or entertain inspection contingencies. |
