also be careful of flipped houses. If the guy is making money on the deal, then he has probably hidden more than you want to know under the new paint and flooring. Profit in flipped houses is not from paint and carpet. It is usually from finding and patching up serious issues. If it doesn't feel right, walk away. If it stays on the market a while. that means other people didn't feel right about the deal also. You can go at even lower after it sits for a while. You should find your own flipper house and take the money you save and get a bigger boat. :D |
Did you just descride an elevated house to us. If that is. Have an engineer look at it, not an inspector. I have seen a lot of those old pier and beam houses move a lot. This is normal, but will play hell with your maintenance. Try to find one on a slab.

I would walk.....If you do not feel comfortable.
A few Questions for you Do you check HAR.com? Do you have your finacing lined up? What are you looking for? Location? School District? Square footage? How Much do you plan on putting down? The reason I ask is Do you plan on rolling in the closing cost? Other ways to get the 5G's It is a buyers market |

That is not little stuff. Most home inspectors wouldn't even list those things on their reports. They don't want to be liable for a call if they say good or bad.
