@Kenneth B Thanks for the info I have a guy who will look under the crawlspace and give his thoughts on stuff tomorrow 

Read an article by zillow link posted at the bottom which basically says termites are in every home  and very common wondering how true or false these testimonies are

Ok nevermind George must have been reading my mind all the way in New York. lol Thanks for the response!

Thanks you for all of your comments you guys are giving me some great meaningful advice for us.  I do you think it would be worth it if I could talk the seller down even more?  But then  it seems as if the general consensus is to walk away.

Just found out during a brief inspection a home we put a offer in for has termites. Nice duplex but very disheartening. If me and my wife go through with everything it would be our 1st home. We just aren't sure what to do its a great deal and we have been looking so long and just want it to be over. But it has termites and signed of some damage. There is 1 hump  near the back door and I'm just not sure what to do at this point should I walk away. Any advice on how easy or stressful treating or even redoing termite damage could be thanks any input would help a lot 

Ok will do. I hear so much about investment income and how profitable it can be and Im just ready to turn a new page in my life. Thanks for your advice

Hello everybody Me and my wife are newbies to the real estate game. We are actually looking into purchasing our first home and investment property.

The duplex we actually already rent from is for sale and our landlord asked us if we want to buy it. So after being pre-approved i find my self here. And thats how I got thrown into the real estate world.
