What were they thinking? The foreclosed home with the puking brick
ByI was recently out looking with a client who is interested in buying a foreclosed home in a Minneapolis suburb. We came across a one story that made us chuckle (see below left).
It appears that the previous owner starting laying brick, and fell asleep halfway through. The brick covered the entire front of the home AND the garage!
My client came up with the clever name of “puking brick,” because while standing in front of the house and garage it really looks like the brick was ill. Or maybe the mortar was trying to escape the mess inside. The house had not received a “trash out” yet, and every room in this home was dirty and cluttered.
I never know what to expect when I go looking at Minnesota foreclosures with buyers, or while doing BPOs, but it is always entertaining!

This little story just made my day! I spent the better half of a year looking at foreclosed homes around the metro and wish I’d seen this in person. Of all the garbage, grit and crud I came across, this would’ve made my experience “priceless” instead of “pathetic”! Thanks for sharing!
