Apart from the move, you'll also want to get some bids on hookups (i.e. plumbing, gas, electric, HVAC, etc).

Got him down to $157.5k but to me, at 7% and still have to pay either for oil or add two heaters and split plumbing, it's just not worth it.Thinking to avoid all the hassles, thinking either stick to SFH or put up modular duplexes where everything is new.

Foundation issues are one... plumbing is another.

There are some plumbing leaks still but not terribly concerned, but one of the leaks had long-term dripped into furnace and rusted out the unit and soaked the electornics.

If you do end up purchasing this property, and it needs new plumbing.

This particular search found the following (off the top of my head): HOT wires loose under the insulation in the attic; non-working plugs and switches throughout the house; numerous aesthetic QC issues; showers/sinks with no hot water owing to incorrect plumbing; a hot wire SPLICED INTO A METAL LAMP CORD found in the attic… In a nutshell, his entire house had to be rewired because Bob had turned it into a FIRETRAP; on top of this, two dishwashers were “removed for faulty (insert excuse here)” and replaced with inferior models, in addition to a stove, during the three or so week period.Now, let’s go back to my place.

$2,400 may be a fair number if the major systems (electricity, plumbing, roof, HVAC) have been updated within the last 20 years.

New roof, new appliances, new plumbing, and fresh paint already done.The sellers listed it at $149,900, reduced a few weeks later to $147,00, then finally to $142,500.
