The Drasin Story, I got a call from a retired engineer in aerospace. This guy was a real hermit. He had “checked me out” on the Internet, BBB, and local Real Estate Board for complaints and also had agonized as to whether he should call me. A very skeptical guy. He did not want me to see his house, but when he called me he said “My house is worth probably $400,000. 00 and I will sell it if you can do it quick for $200,000. 00. I said “let me think about that for a minute. . . ” And that is about how long it took me to race over there. What I saw would scare anyone or wake the dead. Ugly doesn t capture it. No systems worked. Electrical was burnt out, no A/C, heater unit dead, water heater dead, I could have gotten a tan in the living room. The roof was SO bad that you could see daylight because the rain has washed all the drywall away years before, and there were 1” spaces between the roof sheathing and basically NO shingles left. Mold everywhere. Less
