/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Oh yeah, its got problems. Big problems. Its been on the market over 90 days, has already had the price dropped TWICE (it was originally $62,900), all the photos posted are tiny, and it is selling for am an absolutely paltry amount per square foot. I'm willing to bet the roof is shot and there is significant rot/damage just about everywhere made of wood. Some of the repairs on the brick look sketchy as well. Even from the 1998 quality photos, you can tell the exterior needs works. Also, the listings say it is a 4 bed, 1 bath but they didn't take pictures of every room? Huge red flag. Whoever is selling this place is either hiding something or is doing the minimum work possible because they know it won't sell for anything and their commission will be tiny.

Check for asbestos. Check for lead paint. Check for knob and tube wiring or some other electrical nightmare. Check the roof. Check the foundation. Check the brickwork. Be prepared to have to drop $100k on this place to bring it up to standard even if you do a bunch of work yourself. I guarantee you it has multiple major issues.

Also, whoever replaced the original windows with those 3/4th height ones to save a buck needs to be cockslapped.
