What on earth is happening with this property listing?
At first glance, this home in Cayce, South Carolina looks like a bargain. With its charming design, an attic apartment, and a separate cottage out back, it’s priced at just $130,000 — significantly less than comparable homes in the neighborhood.
But here’s the catch: it seems like a certain uninvited guest, perhaps a disgruntled ghost, has taken up residence in the upstairs apartment. The listing offers a rather alarming description that you might want to read twice: “Please read carefully before scheduling showings.” It then refers to the property as a “diamond in the rough” investment opportunity, but quickly adds, “Upstairs apartment cannot be shown under any circumstances. Buyer assumes responsibility for the month-to-month tenancy in the upstairs apartment. Occupant has never paid, and no security deposit is being held, but there is a lease in place. (Yes, it does not make sense, please don’t bother asking.)”
So, don’t even think about asking about this mysterious tenant who’s not paying rent and has no plans to leave. And don’t ask about the apparent disturbances coming from above. The listing ominously states that the property is sold as-is — good luck trying to make any changes!
Then there’s the intriguing door to the attic apartment, which you should definitely not inquire about. Is that blood or spray paint? Why is my heart racing?
On a brighter note, there’s a charming fire pit in the backyard, and a gold pole that might come in handy for whatever sacrificial offering your spectral tenant requires in order to make this property sale-able again. Just pray that someone buys it to lift the curse and free you from this horror cottage.
Sure, there’s a little water damage from whatever’s happening up there, but don’t worry; it’s merely cosmetic.
There’s a staircase leading to the upstairs apartment, but for your own safety, avoid using it, OK? And don’t forget the lovely kitchen that boasts plenty of natural light.
“Little is known about condition except that the property has active roof leaks. It is being sold ‘as-is’ with no repairs, no clean-up, and no warranties expressed or implied.” So, no repairs, no warranties, and please, for your own sanity, steer clear of any inquiries about that upstairs apartment. But overall — what a deal!
