Paco The Realtor Podcast Episode 3: The drug house

The Paco the Realtor Podcast

Welcome to the wild, wild world of real estate! In this episode, we meet our hero - a seller who's in a bit of a pickle. His home is located in the not-so-great part of town, and let's just say it's seen better days. Squatters, drug dealers, destroyed property - you name it, this home has got it all. But never fear, because our seller has enlisted me, the master of real estate flips, to help him out. Unfortunately, even with my expertise, we can't seem to sell this disaster house with the current situation. That's where our creative solution comes in. In true partnership form (cue dramatic music), I offer to evict the troublesome tenants and remodel the home. And here's the kicker - I'll only do it if our hero shares in the profits! Talk about being a real partner in crime or should I say real estate? wink wink But let me tell you, things did not go smoothly. Turns out those pesky squatters were also drug dealers and using buckets as toilets (gross!). And for some reason, they wanted cash to leave but refused to do so on their own. insert eye roll One tenant even fought us and we had to take them to court! But wait, there's more - people stole building materials during the remodel and let's just say cleaning up after that garage full of animal waste was not exactly fun. Yet through all these obstacles (and probably some tears), we prevailed! We evicted those tenants and turned that disaster house into a dream home. Our hero was finally able to sell his investment property and make some serious moolah. So there you have it folks - sometimes being a real estate hero means facing squatters and drug dealers head-on. But with a little wit, sarcasm, and determination (and maybe some face masks), anything is possible. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more wild real estate adventures!
