Almost purchased my first flip...disappointed

[Staci Craft]

Today my husband and I took our contractor to a house we want to flip. After spending a lot of time walking through and accessing everything it needed, we ran the numbers and it needs way too much work for what the current owner is asking (rather what we think she’ll accept). We decided to walk. I’m disappointed now because I was able to put money together to get the loan and I got my hopes up to jump on this particular house. It’s a farmhouse within walking distance to downtown built in 1900. Has anyone else walked from a house they had high hopes for?
