Home Inspection Issues

[Michael W. D.]

Hi Everyone,

Happy 4th of July! I am making my first purchase of a 932sq. ft. SFR 2BR/2BA detached ranch style home in South Carolina.

Went through inspections and a bubble in the sewer line was found in two areas. There are a couple of other things, like a complete deck replacement (14x15, about 1-2ft off the ground, which is also something I knew about, but only thought the decking boards needed replacement) and a previously repaired settling issue that leaves a raised impression in the floor.

I think I am still getting it at a good price, but hired an appraiser to confirm (since its my first investment) and am waiting for the report.

Does anyone from the area have a point of view on whether these are large issues or small issues to worry about and a suggestion on how to proceed? I appreciate any responses and thank you in advance.
