Home Buyers Beware

July 14, 2009 11:24 AM EDT

views: 123 | comments: 13

Are you or someone you know in the market to buy a home? In this day and age I don't think we are really safe from anything. Not even buying a safe home for our family. I was just reading an article in our local newspaper and it reminded me that we are not safe even in our own home.

"For the last 5 years, they have been living in a contaminated meth lab home with their 3 children." This is a quote from Meth Lab Homes. The website has lots of stories from families and lots of information that you or someone you know may be able to use if buying a house.

I bought my home from an 80-year-old woman's estate. I hope she wasn't running a meth lab!

Alta B. Jul 16, 2009, 6:48pm EDT

I understand what you mean. Hopefully she wasn't but honestly, one never knows.

Jodie B. Jul 17, 2009, 11:10pm EDT

That would be a horrible thing to learn about your home.

Alta B. Jul 17, 2009, 11:41pm EDT

I know.
