Holy shiznat! If I were you, I'd just burn the place down myself. Even if that shit is cleaned up, I wouldn't be able to step foot in there knowing how it was before. Hope it all works out for you.

Clean it, gut the carpet and rent it to some students or low income people, even $400 a month-someone living there and paying a bit of money keeps the squatters out! The worst that could happen is the renters trash the place and you keep their damage deposit-nothing really lost.
I would also say you need to be going back to the property at least every second day for the next couple of weeks to make sure the evictee's don't try to move back in again. Over the winter go and shovel the walk, pick up the flyers etc...
Lucky they didn't burn the place down, a lot of squatters accidentally burn buildings down when they light fires to keep warm.

That is just nasty. However, if you do get it cleaned up and offer low-income housing (like students!,) you'll actually be better off. How far is Tuxedo from University?
If it's cheap, I'll consider having a go at it.
Yeah, I dunno how to get the cleanup done. Would anybody be up for cleaning/fixing up the place in exchange for free rent for a while? Hahah.
We're going to put in new floors for sure, cuz the old stuff is dead and gone... probably laminate flooring...gotta repaint the walls and some of the windows...
Will probably go in there again this weekend to take a more in-depth look.
It's not too close to the University, I guess not too far either. Just up Center street by the 7-11 on 28th Ave.
Be careful. If you didnt catch the squatters when you did, you could have had neighbours call the city. City health inspectors could condemn your building with all crap everywhere (literally). A few more weeks and it could be unfit for habitation.
gross
Aw man, what'd you do with my stuff?

Great Pic's OP. Sorry that this has happened to your property. Too bad those people are wasting their lives doing that stuff. Good luck with everything.

There's another victim here, though: The neighborhood. The people who lived beside your little investment that had to deal with the freak traffic, and wonder if it put their kids/homes at risk.
We've been dealing with an absentee-landlord/squat situation in my neighborhood, and the city's wheels turn very slowly. All manner of freaks have been going in an out of the house, and there were gunshots in it 2 years ago. One next door neighbor, an elderly man, has actually moved away. The situation is still unresolved.
It's hard for me to be sympathetic.
If you own it, you should take care of it. If you're going to be an investor, understand the obligations of your investment.

There's nothing worse that a landlord who doesn't give a shit about their property. It quickly turn the whole neighbourhood to shit.
Junkies should be treated like zombies… HEAD SHOT!

Im suprised we havent had a post from the people with their head up thier ass.
"These poor homeless people need somewhere to live you know. They are good people and I give them a buck or two everyday so they can go and have a good meal."
You just fuckin wait.... Another 2-3 weeks once it gets cold will start seeing stupid posts like that. I'll be ready to reference this thread.
You're right but there are enough government programs to help everyone on the street. This isn't necessary.Originally posted by snoop101
