Foreclosure Sale Buyer Finds Recent Purchase Comes Filled With Four Dumpsters Of Rotting Garbage; Stench Gives Interior Designer Vomit Attack

In Mesa, Arizona, KPHO-TV Channel 5 reports:

• Home buyers have seen some pretty nasty foreclosed homes – but one in Mesa just might be the worst. Justin Christman makes his living buying foreclosed homes, fixing them up and selling them months later. He picked up one in Mesa on the auction steps without seeing the inside until after the deal was done. Christman now realizes he might have bitten off a little more than he could stomach.

• Crews with vacant home rescue have been collecting the rotting garbage in the home for three days --- filling four industrial-size Dumpsters. "The smell is just the most rancid smell you could ever imagine," Christman said.

• Kay Christman, Interior Designer with TDG Designs, said, "We went upstairs and it was so repulsive that I had to come back out and throw up." "Speechless is the only adequate adjective I could use to describe it," Kay added.

• This investment might not pay out like the Christmans originally hoped, but in the end, this neighborhood just lost another distressed property. Christman paid $93,000 for the home, which was a great investment on paper compared to assessments of the other homes in the neighborhood.
