That’s how we got our first place. The sellers still got 2x what they’d paid for it seven or eight years before. But the price was relatively low, so we could afford it.
My friend got his townhouse that way. It was a pretty decent place, and nobody was interested because there were, like, 2 almost-identical exterior shots, maybe one of the kitchen? and 5 from the master bedroom. None from the living room or anything like that
Mine had a single grainy outside shot, worse than Google Street view at the time and called it a contractors special. They essentially put all the red flags they could in the listing, for what was a very manageable purchase (yes we did the flooring before we moved in, and fixed some walls, but we were looking at full guts before, just to get anything.)
Mine hired a bad realtor who listed the house poorly. It means we didn’t compete with cash offers and could actually buy the house.

I wish there was a website listing bad or lazy realtors.
