True story.
I got a call from a lady who wanted to sell her Mom's house. Mom had passed away. The seller lived 2 hours away and she did not want to drive to Dallas to show me the property. But she said the back door is open so I could get in that way.
I entered through the back door which was next to the kitchen. There was stuff all over the counter tops and the house was a mess. (ideal wholesale deal I'm thinking) When I went back to inspect the bedrooms, I was shocked to find a NAKED MAN in bed… alive.
I screamed. He screamed. I ran out of the house.
Later I found out it was the seller's brother who had escaped from prison.
I did not buy this one. What the seller did not tell me was that she had a brother and sister who also inherited the property. Her sister was in prison. The brother, even though she knew where to find him, would not sign anything or go to a closing because he was afraid it would be a set up to capture him. We could have done a suit for quiet title, but it was just too complicated and I decided I did not want to get involved in a property with two owners who were criminals.
You win some. You lose some.
Be careful about entering a house if someone is not with you.
