I’m fairly sure our agent thinks we’re crazy. We offered on a house the first day we looked. The H (husband) said he saw “potential” in the house. It was a run down house that was being rented by three guys. Personally, it wasn’t my cup of tea, but I could live with it. (Un)fortunately we were outbid.
The next time we looked at houses we immediately put in an offer on another house. This one I like. Built in 1974 this house is a bi-level. 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and in fairly good condition. We’ve had the inspection and the house came back with a few problems, but nothing that isn’t fixable. The major problems: aluminum wiring that needs converted at all outlets, a breaker box that has to be replaced, and a bathroom tile job that is going to fall off the wall soon.
As of today, we’re in the process of getting bids to see what it would cost to fix those problems. We’ll be going back to the sellers soon (I hope) to see what they will fix or if they’ll give us an allowance to fix the house.
