What would make you not take on a property?

While this isn’t a scientific poll or survey, I often wonder what makes some real estate professionals choose one property over another. Is it the location? Or maybe the house itself? What are some of the reasons you choose? Here are a few that come to mind:

•    There is brand new paint on this wall and it looks like a major repair has been done underneath it.
•    The telltale cracks in the block walls, and there have been sinkholes in this zip code.
•    2 five gallon buckets of KILZ in the garage, and they are both empty.
•    It took 20 minutes on a bumpy, pot-hole filled road to get here.
•    The power has been turned off-for 6 months, and the seller is still living there.


Let’s hear some of your reasons. I am sure that everyone has a horror story or two. This should be interesting, even if it isn’t scientific!
