withdrew my offer
:cry: I just now withdrew my offer on the house I tried to get on the short sale.
We went in it a few days ago with a contractor. Much of the stuff had been removed from the inside, so we could finally see it. The "dish" in the corner of the living room is even more obvious, as is the condition of the tile. :crying:
I got really concerned about foundation problems, and called a foundation repair man this morning. Based on what he said and my extreme lack of knowledge--and he hasn't seen the place--my concern deepened.
I was already at the upper end of what I had set aside for repeir/remodel, and a potentially over $3000 (at the least) puts the place in the price range of some of the almost turnkey places I've turned down.
Was that the right thing to do? Whether I'm right or not I guess I'll never know, but I just don't want to deal with foundation problems.
So, I'll keep looking.
Anybody out there have any wisdom or great deals for me?
