Inspection Problem Advice
Hi everyone! I'm looking at buying my first property, and I found a great duplex with really good cashflow (at least $800/month). However, after the inspection came back there were a number of problems. Some of them were more major such as the sewers and problems with draining water away from the house and some window stuff. Many of the problems weren't quite as bad but should probably be dealt with sometime in the future. The property was built in 1880. I would want the seller to pay for some of the major repairs to get done, but even if they agree to that, do you think this is too much for me to take on in my first investment. Any advice will help! Thank you so much!
