Opinions on what to do with buying a house

We thought about doing that. Then we were thinking well we could be out say $500 for someone to look at a house and tell us it is going to cost $X amount of money and we decide its not worth it.

I suppose its like gambling and either its a win or lose situation. Although we could make a offer on the house with that being one of the things we bring up. Then I suppose the bank could say they will either fix it or they may drop the price of the house or reject it. I honestly dont even know if they know of all the issues with the house. Hell they say it has a fireplace, well technically it had 2 but the prior owners took them with them! The things people in foreclosure do.

Yep, it's a gamble, you just have to weigh the risk vs. cost of the home and the engineer and how badly you all want this home and the neighborhood it resides in. You and your wife have a lot of talking to do. ;)
