It was because of a misdemeanor public intox charge I got received 6 years ago on a Pharmacy class bar crawl.We dealt with a third party screening company that was like dealing with the DMV.    

I've got an approximately 500 sq foot deck that is in the location that would work well for addition, it is around 4 foot above grade, on a valley side of a roof.

Contemplating on whether to level the house and fix land grading/drainage issues which may end up costing $20K and doing some cosmetic updates or whether just to leave the house as is and do cosmetic fixes and just disclose to buyer that it is not level. 

But try and see if you can expand the kitchen and accommodate the apartment grade applainces.

We use an office grade carpet.

@Lena Wang based on the rent amounts, I am assuming this is located in a C grade neighborhood?

What would be a reasonable discount request on a property looking at structural foundation repairs to include some re-grading to prevent repeat issues, potential mold treatment, window replacement (total 20 windows).I believe in being fair to both seller and myself and I keep hearing and reading (as I went online and started researching this as I wait to get inspection report), I keep hearing that in this market most homes will have some kind of foundation issues and that should not be a deal breaker.What other advice would you give.I do like the home, it has great curb appeal, but I believe in the say, “A home without a foundation is not a home”, so I do want to be careful not to be taking on a home that will leave me stuck with a hefty bill.I plan on continuing to do my research throughout the day as we wait on the inspection report and will eagerly also await any comments that group members can offer to help me make my decision before 12midnight tonight.I hate to lose this home, but I also hate to take a risk that may leave me with a hefty bill down the line.Any comments will be appreciated, good, bad, ugly…… brutal honesty, I will take it all with gratitude.Thanks.

These mfrs use #1 and #2 grade framing lumber to build floors/walls/ceilings in jigs that yield panels with very tight dimensional tolerances.

Until you can make that case, start filling out the common application, keep your grades up, and choose a university/degree.Good Luck!

USREEB also agreed to fix the minor items on my repair list including the grading around the house and drainage ditch in the backyard.
