Keep in mind:
• No home is completely perfect, and a first home is often a “starter” on the way to a dream home. However well it appears to fit your needs and lifestyles, within the first month of living there, there will be things you wish you could change. • There is no point in getting into financial trouble. Do not overspend to obtain a specific property. • If your inspection revealed a few small problems, you could still buy the property and do the repairs yourself. Use the problems as a bargaining chip to get a reduced price from the seller after getting a quote from a professional for the cost of repairs. Do not estimate based on your judgment, and do not let the seller decide how much he thinks it will cost. Ask a professional and share the quote with the seller. • Be prepared to walk away.
