Yup, owned a few. Due to the way my first purchase worked I ended up living in the house for about 9 months and lost close to $10,000 on it.
Lesson learned? Never get your friend to do the inspection even if he's licensed, has his own business and does it regularly. It's worth paying the money to be able to turn around and sue the crap out of someone you don't know.
completely agreed...I wont use family to work on the house at all...or friends...not worth it...my father will help me out on the house if I need it(only due to I am 22 with limited knowledge of certain items...water heaters being one of them).
I know quite a bit about homes from growing up in a construction family..I know cabinetry, flooring..god I know every flooring imaginable including commercial lol...tile, toilets, sinks, garbage disposals, windows, interior walls, certain plumbing, and anything in the yard...lol
Where I grew up many of the homes were over 100 years old so old homes like this 1924 seem normal to me. I recently heard someone call a 1980's house old which made me chuckle.
This house has had some issues but I think there is enough potential to make it worth it, pending the inspection...
