Recently put an offer on a house built in 1982, I may be way too optimistic and need your opinion. I have limited funds, and it's just me.
These are just few things in the inspection report that concern me:
1. Broken/damaged rafters and purlins.
2. Mud wasp nest in the electrical panel.
3. Fire stoppin in the garage not complete.
4. Tub leaks in access panel front bedroom area.
5. Wood flooring under water heater is sagging.
6. Insufficient supply of combustion for the water heater.
7. Heater vent is improperly installed where it passes through the roof deck, the vent pipe does not have the required 1"clearance from combustible material.
8. Evidence of water penetration in bedroom ceiling as well as dormered area.
I like the layout of the home and I'm somewhat emotionally attached to it, BUT I don't need or want a money pit.
Opinions? Should I run?
I will be applying for a FHA loan and my thinking is they won't approve it if the house has too many repairs....and that's ok by me.
