20 Yr old Townhome with History of Roof Leak

[Mohan P.]

Hi,

I am shopping around for  Townhome in Tampa, FL. I found a Townhome that is 20 years old and in a good community. 

It has gone through a couple of contracts already and fell through for various reason claimed by Sellers Realtor but not related to Inspection. Both previous buyers have done Home Inspection, found that the roof was replaced in 2018 and AC units were replaced in the same year. My Concern is there is clear proof that the first floor ceiling had a 4 x6 ft repair as Seller claims is from AC Blower replacement causing issues.

The last Home inspection cleared the Townhome had no moisture in a couple of places where previous inspector suggested wet spots because of poor job (ethernet cable from exterior to a bedroom) and HOA related issue.

This townhome also has various sink rust related leaks and caulk based fixes. 

Should I simply not get into this property or allocate enough (8 to 10%) maintenance and keep up with it? Please suggest.

TIA
