Unless it is a great deal, no hurry for now.

The lender will often cause the loan to be called and squelch the deal.

In 1803, Thomas Jefferson negotiated a deal with Napoleon Bonaparte that effectively doubled the size of this young nation.One might even say President Jefferson was the original distressed real estate investor.

Quote from @Kieran Dowling: @Chris SeveneyThey did not support the wall correctly and i am going to get basement jacks as well as hire a structural engineer to asses and tell me the long term solution.As far as the sewer line repair,  comps are around 250K,  I am purcashing the house for 85K, i have budgeted 135K so far(without this repair)  I  have a total of 150K renovation budget. this is not a deal at all

over the past 7 years I’ve had dealt with countless of bad contractors, several incidents with occupants of the neighborhood that the property is in ( once I walked in on squatters and got into a physical confrontation) , and of course the relentless pursuit of hungry investors calling me and any family member that tracing programs associates with me about wanting to buy my property all while dealing with a career/industry change and finishing college during a pandemic 😮‍💨.so here I am recent graduate ready to finally devote the majority of my focus to getting over my newbie investor hill.

It was affordable and in a beautiful area with a great school and a tight nit community.

There haven't been any decent VA deals lately in my area. 

 If I could go all the way back to the years when I was fresh out of college and start over knowing what I know now, I would actually go to grad school then start a career in a field that I enjoy working in that also pays well. 

But most sellers and realtors also will not deal with 1 in 1000, meaning they will not accept your offer.

.$2 mm house or not you will have headaches with carts regardless and in our experience it's just not worth the hassle.my recommendation is work a deal with a local place you can refer them to and get a small referral fee from.
