Topic	buying a house, previous owner died of natural causes. tell my parents about it?
Filipino Rebellion 02/14/18 11:45:07 PM #1:	Hey folks, I'm in a major dilemma and i need advice on what I should do. I've already talked about this with my realtor and asked for her advice. I've searched google and read about this topic in forums. I've been looking to buy a house since October 2017. Made 2 offers, but both were rejected because the seller decided to go with the best offer on the table, which are cash offer. But anyways, I found a house that I might like base on the pictures. The disclosure of the house was that the previous owner died of natural causes. California law mandates this kind of disclosure for 3 years after the death occurs when the house is being sold. Dying is a natural process, and I'm not very superstitious about it despite the fact I was raised in a very religious catholic household. In fact it does not bother me at all. On the other hand My parents are first generation Filipino immigrants, and extremely traditional. they are very religious and superstitious, i know for a fact if I tell my mom that I'm making an offer on this house, and also tell them, "oh by the way, the previous owner died of natural causes, just letting you know", oh man my mom would have a fright and have a heart attack. That's how old school traditional she is. she doesn't listen to reason. My approach is that I won't disclose it to them, go see the house with my mom tomorrow, but I wont tell them the disclosure, and if i like it, make an offer. The other argument is to be honest and say the previous owner died of natural causes. But this will probably end up with me and my parents arguing in a disagreement. And I don't wanna cause any heartaches because no matter how much I show them the facts, they will not see it my way. What do you folks think I should do. whats the best way. the housing market is so hot right now, inventory is limited. and it's hard to find a good house coz they get sold so fast. i'm telling myself to just pass on this house and keep looking. --- Tim Tebow is the greatest Filipino NFL player that ever played <cite>Filipino Rebellion posted [p:896110742] in buying a h...
