I bought a house that was a foreclosure. I think they took what they felt they owned. That included a sink, all the smoke detectors, all the door knobs, all the appliances. It was strange.

In 2009 I was trying to find my mom somewhere to live. There were a lot of houses for pretty cheap since the 2008 crash had just happened. That was good, since my mom doesn’t have any money. Since she doesn’t have any money I went looking at a lot of foreclosures. Most of them were missing all of the appliances, all of the light bulbs, pretty much everything not bolted down (plus a few things that were), and a lot of them had holes kicked in the walls, counters destroyed, and whatever else the former owners could do to vent their anger at the banks. We ended up renting her an apartment since neither of us had the money to repair all the damage and missing features from the foreclosure houses.

Unless there’s like structural or water damage you can fix it over time.

Fixing takes money that neither of us had

It’s probably safe to assume that a foreclosure sale involved at least some level of malicious compliance, especially one due to the 2008 housing crisis.
