It just needs repainting for cosmetics. When I say it's bad, I'm just used to seeing our house where the paint is in good shape, and this house it's faded.
It's only chipping off/really bad in one spot, the wooden frame where they put in a window. They replaced the frame for that window and did a shit job painting it.
I'm not trying to tell you to shutup, I'm just being realistic. For the location that I want, I'm not going to get a perfect dream house with absolutely no problems. I'm totally fine with fixing stuff as long as it's not several grand (like a furance/burner or septic system).
I have no problem working with a seller to try to get them to pay for stuff, or take money off and I do it myself. I'm not going to buy the house if we can't work anything out. I would never pay $260k for it.
I just don't think you give me enough credit. I may not have built a house or be a carpenter/plumber/HVAC dude or whatever, but I know when a house is a pile of shit and not worth it.
I've been talking to him about stuff for sure. Thanks dude.
