Once in awhile I receive a good laugh from a property visit.  I'm sure all of us have these days.  I suspected that the property was going to be interesting.  It was recently sold as a short sale, then flipped and placed on the market with the same agent that listed it originally.

First it is rather odd in today's market to flip a property, but I digress there.  I had a buyer interested in it, so we took a look.

In the description for the property, it mentioned that the lot was huge enough for horses.  I don't know about you, but an 8,000 square foot lot is pretty darned small for horses.  This was not your sprawling Bridle Trails lot but your standard suburban lot near the city.

My buyer was not interested in horses at all, but did get a kick out of the description.  When he saw the unfenced back yard he exclaimed "oh no! my horse will get away!"

Another funny aspect was the kitchen.  I have seen many remodels and am in the process of doing my own, but never have I seen someone combine appliances literally from the 1950's (and we're not talking about the fashionable ones) combined with granite slab.  Why would you do that!

While looking a the kitchen, I noticed something below me and was surprised to find the kitchen island!  It could not have been more than two feet tall.  It was a great step stool, but not functional as an island.

The entire property was similarly entertaining.  Perhaps someday someone will buy it, but it definitely looks like this flipper will wind up in the negative.
