About to make worst decision of my life
In four hours I will be finalizing a purchase of a home that I generally consider the worst decision of my life. I guess the decision is already made since I am going to the closing office to hand over my check.
I made almost every mistake in the book buying this place and I am embarrassed to being purchasing the place. I rushed my self into purchasing a property because I felt I needed to own a building today. I trusted the seller that the property they were selling was in good condition and I did not walk through the property for the 1st time until just days before closing. The inside of the house is in terrible condition and there is nothing in contract I can do about it. I signed a completely one sided deal all because I was too busy with my day job to slow down and seriously evaluate the deal. I am an idiot plain and simple and just wanted to vent. My sole advice I can offer to new home buyers like myself is if you feel rushed to make a deal on a home just stop walk away and seriously think about the decision in a quite place without any outside influences on your choice. Don't let anyone rush you into making a decision.

I don't know what kind of Earnest Money you have into this deal, but you really have to ask if the losses by walking away are going to be less than the amount if you stay in. If yes, just walk away and call it a cheaper lesson than if you stick around.
Good luck.
