What in the world is happening with this property listing?
At first glance, this home in Cayce, South Carolina, appears to be a fantastic bargain. This charming abode features an attic apartment and a quaint cottage in the backyard—all for just $130,000, which is significantly less than most similarly sized homes in the vicinity.
But there’s a catch: it seems that a rather angry spirit (or perhaps something much worse) is residing in the upstairs apartment and has no intention of leaving. The listing’s description raises more questions than answers.
“Please read carefully before scheduling showings,” the listing advises, branding the property a “diamond in the rough” for investors. It then ominously notes, “The upstairs apartment cannot be shown under any circumstances. The buyer assumes responsibility for the month-to-month tenancy in the upstairs apartment. The occupant has never paid rent, and no security deposit is held, but there’s a lease. (Yes, it’s confusing, please don’t ask.)”
Curiously, we’re told not to inquire about this non-paying tenant who refuses to vacate. Also, do not ask about this:
That door leads to the attic apartment, which you should never hope to access. And oh my goodness, is that blood or spray paint? Why is my heart racing?
On the brighter side, there is a lovely fire pit in the backyard and a golden pole that could be useful for whatever strange sacrifice might be needed to rid you of this unsettling tenant and allow you to relist the apartment on Zillow.
Sure, there is some minor water damage to the ceiling from whatever chaos is unfolding above, but don’t worry—it’s just cosmetic!
There is a staircase leading to the upstairs apartment, but heed this warning: never use it, DO YOU HEAR ME?
Moreover, there’s a delightful kitchen bathed in natural light:
“Little is known about the property’s condition, only that there are active roof leaks. This is being sold ‘as-is’ with no repairs, clean-ups, or warranties expressed or implied.”
No repairs, no warranties, and please, refrain from probing about that upstairs apartment. Overall, it’s a fantastic deal!
