@Mary JayI hope you're not exaggerating, that you don't even have a thousand dollars.

Roof will probably cost 3-5K depending on the exact size and the amount of deck work needed.Post photos of the interior and we can be much more helpful..Some agents who don't know anything about rehabbing will grossly over exaggerate mold problems.Sometimes the exterior will fool you though..I went and looked at a house yesterday that looked great on the outside..

And since you want to buy it, we especially don't care about exaggerated assessments of the property.
