I just feel as though this house is too much for me and I'd like to at least try to make a couple thousand bucks on it if I can, rather than start messing with hugely expensive foundation repairs and move onto my next house having valuable lessons learned.It isn't like the floors are going to collapse or anything, so I'm hoping someone will appreciate the discounted price and otherwise nice condition of the home(large home, newer siding, windows, 1000sq ft garage, good neighborhood, new furnace system, new stainless appliances) and we can both benefit, so to speak, from my mistake of investing in this home.
