    Congrats! Back in 1979 when I was 17 my parents bought a fixer upper house. Every afternoon when I got out of government school I headed there to perform whatever needed done that I was big enough to do. Mom worked 3-11 so it was mostly me and my dad. The house had been a rental, so you can guess the condition. The house was quite solid, overall, just needed about three million roaches eradicated, and some beautification. Good luck.

    I might not know what I'm talking about, but was the first floor built to low too the ground with no moisture barrier, which lead to the floor rotting? If so, and you repair the place, how will you avoid that happening again? Will you dig out a crawlspace and install vapor barrier and ventilation?

    We have a lot of termites in my area & corrosive sea air, & marine layer fog coming in nightly most of the year. A house like that would be eaten up and corroded. Here in central California, the contractor would take the floors up & check the utility pipes and replace any old busted ones where they run under the house. Replace old corroded by the sea-air water pipes with new copper, & old pipes to the toilets with pvc, and then pour a concrete foundation in sections until its completely concrete & stable under the house, because beams down there would just get eaten. Even the gophers out here will mound up the dirt to the beams & chew on wood. Chewed a hole right up through the bottom of my raised bed garden that was on short legs. I’d have to take the house down to studs as well & replace termite eaten beams & boards. Out here, the county wants to send an inspector out to sign off on each step of the process. And before anyone reading this complains, Nate just told you about flippers giving people a bad house that they didn’t really fix. That is full of expenses that the owner hid & also ties up the court system. Its better to have a fully inspected home. We even have inspection before you sell a non-busted home, just to make sure it isn’t busted and give the buyer a chance to either back out or ask for a lower price if they agree to take the burden of fixing it. I don’t mind the inspectors because I have nothing to hide. We’re currently in the process of fixing up the old house we’re in so we can sell & move to the new manufactured home we had built & shipped to the mesa with a sea view. There are also building codes out here for different types of houses. You couldn’t get a permit to put a built house on the slope we put this manufactured home on, but you could put a manufactured or a mobile home there. I don’t know why, maybe its because they are movable, lighter? Before a buyer closes on our old home, we have to tent for termites to even keep them from going in the attic if they aren’t already damaging it, and a couple guys come through checking everything in the house & submit a report to the buyer which we get a copy of. They may ask for a lower price if they would have to repair something, but you can say no, say its for sale at that price as is. If they don’t want to fix it, they can go somewhere else and you keep a copy of the report and keep looking for a buyer. Generally we have come down on price for replacement of an oven or some minor repair we didn’t know about, as we keep our home in good repair.
