Put in an offer on a house about a week ago.
This house had it all. 4 bed 2 bath, 2 den, finished basement, 2 car garage, 4th bedroom on basement floor adjacent to the lower den (these would be Daddy's man--er, nerdcave and Baby's playroom), less than two miles from the best high school in the county. They were asking $195k, which is crazy low for all that (though it was a 1979 house), but when we took a look, we discovered a foundation issue. We put in an offer at $185k, contingent upon foundation inspection and home inspection, and to our amazement, the seller accepted. The foundation guy took a look and recommended some extra work be done, totaling $10k plus an estimated $3k in contractor labor. $185k is supposed to be our absolute max so we had to ask the seller to eat the cost for the foundation stuff. Unsurprisingly, they didn't want to be out a whopping $23k (the $10k between list and offer, plus $13k in foundation work), so we walked. *shrugs* God has a house for us somewhere. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 ...

I would actually murder someone for the opportunity to buy a house for $208k I'm sure you would. Houses here are well below average cost. But it's not really feasible for us to make the payments on a loan like that. Not while we're on one income, tithing, investing, saving for Baby DevsBro's college tuition, vacations, Xmas and trying to fund an indie game all at once. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 ...

The best I can give you is never go into a house negotiation where youre set on that one place.
I had three bids on houses in this neighborhood I live in and the one I wanted ended up falling through. My second choice actually ended up being a way better pick but I was able to play hardball after dealing with the first guy. --- Moustache twirling villian https://i.imgur.com/U3lt3H4.jpg- Kerbey ...

Foundation problems should be a dealbreaker.
By the point they come up theres already going to be the start of other damage as it settles. You got lucky. --- Moustache twirling villian https://i.imgur.com/U3lt3H4.jpg- Kerbey ... Copied to Clipboard!
