I doubt you will find anything on TH-cam regarding the renovation process of this house. There are clips of the post "renovation" but nothing that shows the progress. There is good reason. My family purchased the home in February (we were stationed overseas; bought sight unseen at the advise of our realtor) and moved in last month (13 May). In the past month alone, we have faced nearly $100,000 in repairs to the home. We are currently in the process of creating crowdfunding options as we are a military family who has already spent all of our life savings into this marketed "slice of heaven".
@@elenawilliams32 ….but they clearly did to vandalize it. Do you really think the owner posted it before doing their final rental walk through and settled deposit refund?
I agree, the person who caused all of this damage to the house should be publicly shamed. Photo, name, D.O.B. and the last four digits of that person's social security number should be shared online and to all realtors.
The "TENANT" wasn't even the tenant!! SQUATTER! "But that changed around 2018, when Myers found out that the tenant had died and that her daughter had moved into the home. The Colorado woman who moved into the house not only stopped paying the monthly rent of about $2,800 but also allegedly installed a $38,000 roof on a home she did not own. When the woman told the contractor to “drop dead” after they asked for payment, the company reportedly put a lien on the house without Myers’s knowledge, Foster said. The real estate agent alleged that the woman had also become a menacing presence in the neighborhood. “The neighbors said they would hide when they saw her because she scared them so much,” Foster told The Post.
The vandalism isn't that bad from a contractor's repair viewpoint. The walls, doors and windows are generally intact. The property was very dated anyway - the carpet needed to be replaced, the hardwood floors was worn and needed refinishing, the bath and kitchen is dated. Spray on 20 gallons of high-hide white paint, install some carpets, refinish the flooring and you'd have a nice rental within a couple of weeks. The vandal should be prosecuted by law enforcement. It's unlikely that suing the tenant will result in any recovery of money because the tenant likely doesn't have any money and doesn't care about their credit.
Finally a voice of reason among all the hype. All the damage here looks to be cosmetic. Nothing that a coat of paint and new floor coverings couldn't fix, together with kitchen and bath updates. A true house from hell would have structural issues that would require a complete teardown. As an owner, I would be more worried about the unresolved home owner insurance and the unpaid roofing contractor issues.
Who ever damage that house, I would hate to see what would happen if their spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend ever broke up with them?? I'm sure they wouldn't take the break up in a civilize manner.
How do you know that the landlord didn't harass and goad the tenant before he or she trashed the unit and left? We are only getting one side of the story here.
You’re not a good tenant if you do this to a property... does not matter what the landlord does. The person that did this, she is a low life and detrimental to society. How does anyone even consider defending this person’s actions?
Only because you have to be by law. The laws around disclosure in real estate are very strict. She went all in and used it as a way to get it larger exposure in this case. Very smart.
My mother in law bought a house that needed a lot of work. She bought it because it's exactly the type of house she always wanted. She cleaned it for 2 months before they moved in.
that house has too much bad karma i will not buy even for $200,000 you can find something more pleasant elsewhere for that price that they are asking for
@@d.Arbelles wrong. Investors make up less than 5% of sales here. It's been that way for a couple years at least. Even distressed properties are being bought by traditional buyers that will live in the home and fix as they go.
I bought my house for 87k in 2010 while the market was still tanked. I can get 400k for it now. I'm going to sell and move to Alabama where nobody wants to move to. Lol
@Jen D. Blame the government that people are so foolish enough to believe cares about them. The Canadian government is letting there people get screwed as well.
Lol. I'm down the street from here. Um it's no surprise. Even non vandalized house's go for $800,000 in the neighborhood. So it's a nice fake news situation, im happy she sold it though.🙄😊
Sue that tenant. For the cost of the repairs. PERIOD. They keep your $500 security deposit if theirs a little damage at an apartment. Or arrest them for felony damage to property.
What the former tenant did is not that rare; the law considers this a civil case, so the property owners only recourse is to sue in civil court. First they have to find the former tenant, then go through the expense of a lawyer, only to find that the judgement won is meaningless since the former tenant has no assets. When someone can damage another persons property to the tune of 10’s of thousands, sometimes even into six figures, and there are no consequences, then it is a free for all of destruction for anyone who feels like it.
Bikers still do mercenary work, just sayin. That former tenant might also need to be tracked down and vandalized. You never know when you piss off the wrong person
The sad fact is that the vandalizing squatter prolly will never have to face any consequences for her actions. It's a civil matter. The owner is dead, the out of state heirs will just be happy to get whatever money they can get out of the sale and not spend more time and money on litigation, and the new buyer will focus on the rehab, maybe try to get some money from the home owner insurance company. There certainly won't be any money recoverable from the vandal since she's broke or what the legal profession calls judgment proof.
Correction the owner is not dead but suffers from cancer and now lives out of state. My point about there not going to be any legal action still stands.
You have no idea what happened... maybe they were in a fixed lease... for 900... and the owner wanted to do 1800... and evicted them... so the evil person could be the owner for being greedy and throwing a family out on the street. Conjecture is evil... perspective and knowledge is everything

But if you think that's ok... I pray for your soul...
Woah, Sean. Commenting without watching the video or reading up on this. The "tenant" wasn't even a tenant. Her mom passed, she moved in without informing anyone of her mom's passing. She stopped paying the $2800 in rent last year. She had a new roof installed w/o permission, and then told the contractor to "drop dead" w/o paying the 38k for the roof. Even if none of those circumstances were present, she destroyed and vandalized someone else's property--which is a criminal offense. Regardless of life circumstances, criminal offenses are always just that: criminal. Yes, she should be in jail
"Now, with the house heading toward foreclosure on June 30, Myers, who lives in Arizona and is in remission from cancer, said she’s praying for a miracle."
That is going to be a very profitable flip. My first house was in just as bad as shape. It even had a huge hole in the roof. It was a probate sale, was vacant for a long time and was vandalized. Bought it, fixed it while living in it, sold it for a huge profit after two years to get the tax free gains and was absolutely hooked on real estate investing. Almost 30 years later and I am still investing in real estate.
It is vandalism of property. The landlord could take the tenant to small claims court. Problem is often you can’t get the money even if the ruling goes in your favour. However, list the judgement with a collections agency. It may cost you another few hundred but worth it. The debt will now follow the tenant if anybody else does a credit check on them. I would even, every couple of years check their status and put a lien on any property they ever buy, even if it is just a truck. Ridiculous when there is outright malicious destruction of property that a person can’t be charged simply because they happened to be a tenant.
So true. But the owner has other concerns and probably just wants to cash out and put the whole thing behind her and not spend any more money on the legal process. So yeah, no consequences for the tenant.
@@yodude832 He can still sell the house and go after some costs in small claims court. In small claims court you don’t need a lawyer and only have a few small fees. But, yes what is your time worth to go through the process and I think most in most courts you can only claim a maximum of $5000. I am a small landlord. Only once in my 15 years as a landlord have I had to evict a tenant. Just over $3000 lost. After I had the tenant/landlord boards ruling I paid a fee of $100 to just file it with a collection agency. Never expected to get a dime back but at least it is on record now so if another landlord does his due diligence and background checks on them, it will pop up.
I checked the Zillow listing and it does not mention any of the vandalism damage. It says "The house has recently been painted on both the inside and outside. Very well maintained." What's going on?
Exactly, the same thing I was thinking! We see this now So much because of the upper echelon of parenting skills!! These are the kids that got put in time out and not a whooping when they needed it or for good measure! How's that workin out for the country NOW?? 🇺🇸
Can you all put a caution/warning about what will be viewed because I was eating during this and wasn't prepared for the b.s. that was showed in refrigerator!🤢🤮🤮🙄😒 Thanks, management
Oh whatever its not like it can't be easily fixed. A little paint, patching the walls, new carpeting and some new appliances and there ya go. If the foundation, roof, septic system was damaged or if the house was used as a meth lab, then that would be an entirely different story.
That house won’t take nearly $150k to fix up. Some drywall patches, paint, new carpet, paint stripper, blinds, and depending if those floors are hardwood, they may be able to be stripped and refinished.
Well before COVID-19 hit, two tenants who had been evicted from one of my parents' rental properties after they missed several months' worth of rent tore a door from its hinges before they left. Compared to what happened to the house in this story, what my parents experienced was incredibly mild. There's a prevailing attitude that landlords are evil parasitic monsters that prey on the poor and working class. On the contrary, many landlords are regular people without deep pockets who are just looking to build a retirement nest egg after a lifetime of hard work. The landlord allows a tenant to live on his property and make use of its amenities, and in return, he receives consideration in the form of rent payments. It's a fair bargain. As much as landlords may be sympathetic to changes in the tenants' financial situation, they can't afford to let tenants stay in a home rent-free for long because, as it turns out, houses are not cheap to own, both in terms of their upkeep and the mortgage, HOA, property taxes and other expenses. The lack of affordable housing is a serious issue that needs addressing, as is the issue of slumlords who actually *_do_* fit the definition of parasites, but the regular folks who happen to own second homes and rent them out for some extra retirement money are not the problem.
They are parasitic. They hoard single family homes that many would rather buy than pay someone else's mortgage. They need to stop playing monopoly and allow young families to own a home.
I've seen this and worse happen so many times. Start giving people jail time for it and watch the incidents decrease. They know they'll never have to pay anything because most or all who do these kinds of things have no money. You can't get blood from a stone. Just put them behind bars.
I had a tenant that did this to me. She even threat my life and wanted to force me to let her live there for free. I had to hire lawyers to get her out. Only rent to people that have the credit and the background to rent a house. there is plenty of garbage humans in USA.
@@Daksh-s2b I did not state it only happens in the usa. I stated the fact that the USA have a lot of garbage Humans. Your reasoning skills seems flawed to me. Not your fault, you probably went to a public high school in the states where critical thinking is not part of the curriculum.

I worked hard and saved money for years to buy my house, the only reason I put it to rent was because I was moving out of state and I owed more than the house was worth at the time. she is in prison now, apparently she was prostituting her daughters and dealing drugs. Ps: It goes without saying there are garbage humans everywhere in the world. the condescending one here is you. I do not wish this on anyone yet you apparently do. good bye
Yeah I read the washington post article. The tenant that rented the house initially was there for 10 years and passed away. The tenant's daughter moved in without the owner knowing and created this mess. She really locked her 2 cats in the bathroom and left them there to die.
That disgusting squatter was let BACK IN by the property management after being evicted! The crazy lady also left cats inside to die. "Myers said a complaint filed to the Colorado Division of Insurance has not been answered. Foster said she filed a report to police concerning the vandalism at the property. Colorado Springs police Lt. James Sokolik told The Post that the case remains open but is inactive. He said authorities have not been able to contact the former tenant or the property management company. The house is approaching foreclosure because of several liens on it, including the $38,000 roof allegedly installed by the former tenant, Foster said."
People should boycott rental homes. Everybody just camp on lawns until the landlords start selling, then buy the homes Refuse to rent. Destroy the market for rentals.
That former tenant should be arrested...I hope so.
I agree.
No
The former "tenant" likely a victim of rent to own scam......

That house won’t take nearly $150k to fix up. Some drywall patches, paint, new carpet, paint stripper, blinds, and depending if those floors are hardwood, they may be able to be stripped and refinished.
$600K for that place? lol
Has any legal action been taken on the tenet?? They should be held accountable!!!
Well houses in Colorado are approaching the level of unaffordability, that's the turning point to buyer's market. Sooner the better.
Why did they break it?
I do the drywall and paint for clients like this EVERY day!
Pueblo and Colorado Springs is high in payouts if your highly skilled in the Trades
Well before COVID-19 hit, two tenants who had been evicted from one of my parents' rental properties after they missed several months' worth of rent tore a door from its hinges before they left. Compared to what happened to the house in this story, what my parents experienced was incredibly mild.
There's a prevailing attitude that landlords are evil parasitic monsters that prey on the poor and working class. On the contrary, many landlords are regular people without deep pockets who are just looking to build a retirement nest egg after a lifetime of hard work. The landlord allows a tenant to live on his property and make use of its amenities, and in return, he receives consideration in the form of rent payments. It's a fair bargain.
As much as landlords may be sympathetic to changes in the tenants' financial situation, they can't afford to let tenants stay in a home rent-free for long because, as it turns out, houses are not cheap to own, both in terms of their upkeep and the mortgage, HOA, property taxes and other expenses. The lack of affordable housing is a serious issue that needs addressing, as is the issue of slumlords who actually *_do_* fit the definition of parasites, but the regular folks who happen to own second homes and rent them out for some extra retirement money are not the problem.
They are parasitic. They hoard single family homes that many would rather buy than pay someone else's mortgage. They need to stop playing monopoly and allow young families to own a home.
Thanks so much.
I've seen this and worse happen so many times. Start giving people jail time for it and watch the incidents decrease. They know they'll never have to pay anything because most or all who do these kinds of things have no money. You can't get blood from a stone. Just put them behind bars.
I had a tenant that did this to me. She even threat my life and wanted to force me to let her live there for free. I had to hire lawyers to get her out. Only rent to people that have the credit and the background to rent a house. there is plenty of garbage humans in USA.
You think this only happens in US ?
@@Daksh-s2b I did not state it only happens in the usa. I stated the fact that the USA have a lot of garbage Humans.
Your reasoning skills seems flawed to me. Not your fault, you probably went to a public high school in the states where critical thinking is not part of the curriculum.
@@ngpb17 dear, i don't even live in your country. I just stated that you will find this garbage humans everywhere in world and actually there are plenty of people who are morally bankrupt in my nation. From your condescending tone i assume the tenants were not completely wrong ...
@@Daksh-s2b the tenant where squatters, they did not pay even the first month. I worked hard and saved money for years to buy my house, the only reason I put it to rent was because I was moving out of state and I owed more than the house was worth at the time. she is in prison now, apparently she was prostituting her daughters and dealing drugs.
Ps: It goes without saying there are garbage humans everywhere in the world. the condescending one here is you. I do not wish this on anyone yet you apparently do. good bye
Mimmi Foster is only too happy to resell this at 100k over market value over and over and over and over and over again.......
If you see the redfin listing, it is said that the tenant left two cats to die in the bathroom
Seriously? 😳
Yeah I read the washington post article. The tenant that rented the house initially was there for 10 years and passed away. The tenant's daughter moved in without the owner knowing and created this mess. She really locked her 2 cats in the bathroom and left them there to die.
Effing heartless b🤬!
@@alissandra333 She sounds like a danger to society. I hope she's found and prosecuted.
That disgusting squatter was let BACK IN by the property management after being evicted! The crazy lady also left cats inside to die.
"Myers said a complaint filed to the Colorado Division of Insurance has not been answered. Foster said she filed a report to police concerning the vandalism at the property. Colorado Springs police Lt. James Sokolik told The Post that the case remains open but is inactive. He said authorities have not been able to contact the former tenant or the property management company.
The house is approaching foreclosure because of several liens on it, including the $38,000 roof allegedly installed by the former tenant, Foster said."
That landlord needs to sue that tenant. Or criminal mischief
Did they sell it?
Hopefully the woman who did this is in jail and her kids have been taken away.
I would not pay that much for that house.
I’m sure that tenant will be arrested, that’s against the law
Civil matter. Unless somebody sues her, there won't be any consequences.
I would go after the former tenant. You can't pay, ill tale the court ordered payment plan. Plus ill have you participate in the clean up.
I hope they went after the former tenants for the damage they caused? Their names should also be public domain now. All gloves off!
Hope the tennant was fined for destruction of private property
They should have said the previous owners name and shamed her.She thought by painting those words the home would not sale, boy I bet she feels stupid
Realtor to news media, boy, do I have a story for you. Just make sure you include the property address and you spell my name right.
Knock the price down because of the work that needs done
I guess we have all learned a valuable lesson here. Buy a house in Colorado.
I'd buy it, call Chip and Joanna Gaines and pay them to do their magic and possibly give it a new address to, to go with its makeover!
Im surprised that they are actually trying to sell this crap with 590k
This is disgusting. People are sick.
I've done cleanouts on worse. That's an easy 200k in work...
What kind of trashbag human being does this to someone else’s property ? What a waste of skin .
There are two sides to every story....remember that
who buys a house for that price?? a criminal professional...??
People should boycott rental homes. Everybody just camp on lawns until the landlords start selling, then buy the homes Refuse to rent. Destroy the market for rentals.
Every single day this country turning more into that hunger games movie
WOW!!! How horrible
What a joke nobody in springs has that’s kind of money
No it should cost way less w all the demage
Oh my lord! That is horrific
Why not buy it? There's a way to get the bad and negative energy out for good. It's called prayers.
Cause prayers worked so long for so many people.. wait 3 years 120,000
I hear a shaman burning sage also does wonders for a house.
What made the tenant do what they did?
They were evicted for months of unpaid rent.
