Buying my first home/issue with front door
I am buying my first home for about 250k in El Paso, TX.
It is new construction just finished. Good location. New neighborhood which seems like will end up as class B. 3 bed, 2 bath. Open concept living/dining. Very familiar w the city as I was born and raised here.
Going 20% down conventional w plans to pay it off ASAP as I make over 100k per year after taxes and live well below my means.
I hope to rent it out and cash flow as soon as I pay it off.
Today during the blue tape walkthrough I identified an issue with the front door. It gives a lot of resistance when closing and seems as though it may need to be replaced/fixed. I have informed the builder but worried it won’t get fixed or they’ll try to avoid it however they can. I’m wondering should I back out of this deal over this issue if it is not fixed? Please let me know if any other questions/info needed. Thanks!
