Unfortunately, the home was left a dilapidated mess by the tenants.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tarek El Moussa initially wanted to put down $350,000 to $360,000; however, the seller wanted $370,000, per Realtor.com. With comparable sales in the area at $500,000, the ex-couple wasn&#8217;t initially worried since it is close to Los Angeles and Orange County, but the home&#8217;s problems made it challenging.\u00a0The house had massive clutter in every room. The kitchen even had a raw turkey carcass sitting on the counter\u00a0for what Christina Haack estimated to be for years.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">All funny business aside, the duo had to deal with a cracked foundation that set them back $4,000, replacing the old roof and the wrong marble flooring installed in the laundry room and bathrooms. Thankfully, the exes didn&#8217;t rip that out and re-painted the walls instead. All in all, the former couple spent $95,000 on renovations and ended up selling the property for $530,000, according to Realtor.com.
