There are a millions towns, many strategies, many success stories, and failures. 

But my realtor told me if I was to get my own inspection and back out, i risk also getting sued for failure to perform.

Good luckWith the recent bank failures, it's likely the FED will not raise rates as much as initially anticipated...but that just means inflation will rise again. 

Maybe.HUD (estimates) service life at 20 years for an electric or gas furnace, but a February failure could mean a wait for an install or a wintertime price gouge.How long is the wait time for a repair or replacement in the below freezing times in the area?

For all of my renovations I have used Kohler and no failures thus far. 

Borrowing money from Grandpa, your girlfriend, or Fat Tony the Leg Breaker, is how a lot of REI failure stories start.

No, that's a setup for failure. 

So in her own words shes underbidding by $100-150k and still wants to blame other people for her own failure to face reality.

The content was gritty and real, and came from actual hands on successes and failures.

Fear of failure.
