Yeah I have a friend in army with 706 credit so I don't have to rely on parents credit and from looking at the house its just cosmetic needs like paint carpet and maybe a little modern updates but everyone once you start taking things apart there maybe some other damaged underneath but from the look I think 10,000 in repairs would do the job.
