Yep, I bought one a few years ago right next door. Folks that moved in were real slobs and the place gradually got trashier and trashier, they divorced and it got worse. The man was living there with a couple teenage boys and we bought the place with intent to remove the eye sore, plus it had a little acreage I wanted. Bought it at sheriffs sale and the occupant was given 30 days to vacate. When that time was up they were still there so I hit him up and asked what was going on. They were flat on their back and had no money to get another place, so I worked a deal where I brought in a dumpster, told them to pick up and dispose of all of the junk around property and fill the dumpster and be out in 30 days at which time I would give him $500 for that clean up.
The 30 days came and went and the junk was mostly picked up, but they had not yet left. He asked for the money, and I told him as soon as they got out, I'd give him the money. Another week or so went by with no progress, so I got the sheriff involved, occupant and myself showed up in court and explained everything and judge gave him 5 days to vacate or sheriff would come remove them. They finally got out on the 5th day, I paid him the $500 for clean up and took over the piece of junk.
It was a modular home which I considered fixing up and renting, but after studying on it for awhile just decided to make it go away. Put an add in the paper and sold the house for $10,000 and a guy came and hauled it off, gave the above ground pool to a buddy who had to come dismantle it, and still wound up with a whole bunch more junk to clean up, utility disconnections, abandon the well & septic, some bulldozer & backhoe work, etc. Probably spent all of the $10,000 just getting the place back to a bare lot. It's farm field now.
