Re: Any people who know about buying houses?

Yep, I did my place via realtors (and not buying direct from an owner) and you definitely want an inspection done. Also a home appraisal. One of the places I put in an offer on, by the time we got to the appraisal, it turned out the place was valued for literally thousands of dollars less than what the seller had it on the market for and they weren't willing to budge an inch on the price. I was pissed since I'd wasted like a month dealing with these people but it turned out alright in the end since I ended up finding a place both less expensive and that worked out better for me in general.

But anyway, inspections and appraisals. They might be nice people but this is a huge investment and you don't want to find out after its in your possession that there's something those nice people 'forgot' to tell you about (or perhaps they really didn't know they had a pest infestation tearing up your foundation or that the roof had begun to leak a little when it rains heavily but they don't go up in the attic very often so they never noticed...)

No lie on the last one, the last place I rented I kept hearing a weird dripping noise in the bathroom periodically. I thought at first maybe the sink was leaking but that wasn't it and it sounded like it was coming from above. Eventually I climbed up the ladder to the attic and found there was a spot where the roof was leaking and dripping water right above the bathroom ceiling. It hadn't gotten all the way through yet but of course it would have eventually. I stuck a bucket up there in the spot and notified the landlord. They never did have someone come out and fix it though I made sure to tell them multiple times. Since it never became a problem for me personally and I wasn't on the hook for it I just let it go and didn't angst about it after I moved out (even left the bucket)...

Uh, anyway. Point being, do your homework.

Also your bank is going to want you to get a minimum level of homeowners insurance so you might as well find out what that is and start talking to insurance companies.
