Inspection didn't go so well. The house needs more work than we're able to deal with, specifically a new roof and there may be something wrong with the plumbing in the master bath. The roof is an issue that we're unable to be flexible with. We certainly can't afford a new roof now, nor will we be able to afford one within a few years. So I guess this is the end of the home on Lancer Oak Dr.
Does the search continue? Or do we give up? After seeing dozens of homes, and being turned away from the few that are obviously good deals, should we even bother?
I hate that I'm sitting here crying over this home all by myself. I have to turn the house down, and I have to do it without Kevin here to comfort me and reassure me that we're making the right decision. (He's out of town on business for three weeks.)I think I know walking away from this is the right decision, but I don't want to walk away.
I'm so frustrated, stressed, upset, and tired I can't even think straight. I can't focus on anything else.
This blows.

buying your first home is hard. try not to let it get you down and think that it's just a sign that it's not the right house and the right one WILL come along, it just takes time. My T&P's are with you!!
ReplyDeleteDid they give you a quote on the roof? what specifically needs to be replaced? I wouldn't worry too much about the plumbing in the master bathroom, its just drywall and pipes, and you wanted a big tub anyway. If the whole roof needs to be replaced right now, then I understand and that sucks. Would the bank be willing to put in for the roof?
ReplyDeleteIt only has a few leaks, but the inspector said more and more leaks will start to pop up if it isn't replaced within a year. Even in 2 years, we can't afford a new roof on it. We're asking the bank to put a new roof on, but we're 99.9% sure that won't happen.
