Flipping a “Hoarder” House: Is It Worthwhile?

If you recently purchased a home as-is, you may be just finding out that the previous owners were hoarders. If your deal of a lifetime includes trash (or worse) from floor to ceiling, you’re probably wondering what plan of action you should take.

What to Do With a “Hoarder” House

If you’ve assessed the home and think there may be some buried treasure—hey, it’s been known to happen—it may be a good idea to hire a cleaning service that you’ve depended on in the past. Having a contractor you trust (especially if you think there may be valuables) will be an important step in the trash out process. After all the work you’ll be putting in, you don’t want someone sneaking off with the antiques.

After the clean-out, you’ll need to decide where the less-than-valuable items will go. If you’d rather see things be repurposed, you may be able to advertise the leftovers as free. You’d be surprised at the amount of people who are looking to turn your trash into their treasure.
