If you live around any abandoned buildings or homes, you may not understand just how big of an issue they are. �Sure, they�re unsightly; a community certainly won�t benefit aesthetically from an abandoned home. �But there are many more reasons why an abandoned property may end up causing issues for a community, and it could have serious consequences. �Ideally, abandoned homes should be sold quickly to avoid these issues. �But, if you aren�t convinced, here are some reasons why abandoned homes can create complicated problems.
Why Are Homes Abandoned?
�
The most obvious answer to this question is foreclosure, because someone is forced to leave a home without anyone there to buy it from them. �Oftentimes, no tenants will be found, and so the home will become abandoned. �But there are many other factors that could cause a home to be abandoned; natural disasters are a good example. �Water and fire damage can make a home unfit to live in, but the owner may not be able to afford the repairs. �This makes the home even harder to sell, because it requires extensive work. �There�s also the possibility that the owner is otherwise indisposed. �They could be in jail, medically compromised, or even deceased. �In this case, it may take a while for anyone to even realize the home is vacant.

What Problems Are There?
�
Now, onto why an abandoned home is a serious issue for the community. �The most obvious issue is crime; since they aren�t technically owned by anyone, abandoned homes are perfect places for crime to run amok. �They�re essentially shelter for anyone who may be passing, such as squatters, drug dealers, gang members, or other unfriendlies. �And when multiple strangers are moving through the property, it increases the risk of fire and arson. �Abandoned homes soon become shelters for wild animals and strays, which results in a culmination of animal waste. �This can turn the abandoned home into a health concern. �Overall, you want that abandoned home removed or bought out as soon as possible. �That�s where we come in.
