| It's not a foreclosure and has fallen out of contract once. There's a rental unit, but I don't think it's a secret it's for sale. Why do sellers do this? Red flag? |

| how are you supposed to judge a place based solely on the outside? would be a huge red flag for me. |

| It's buying a cat in the bag. No way I would buy a house without seeing it, unless I'm planning on tearing it down. |

| Even if they were giving it away, you could end up with some huge dry rot bill. You'd need an airtight inspection contingency. |

| Maybe they want to see how desperate potential buyers are. Just like people who answer blind job advertisements. |

| Never in a million years would I ever bid on a house that I had never been inside. I guess maybe if you intend to tear it down, but even then I would be worried. |

| I would assume people are buying it for land/redevelopment only? |

| Yes, we considered doing that for a tear-down. |
