We had an inspection on a house last week and I want to walk away, but don't exactly have a good reason other than my gut says flee.
The supposedly turn-key house is going to require a roof, a tree taken down, and a new water heater before we move in, and a new air conditioner within 2-3 years, and a slab repaired under the garage. The inspector didn't say anything about the new renovation in the basement other than he thought it was suspicious that they painted all the walls and covered the window(the other windows aren't covered) in an area where he thought water was likely to have entered the house when he looked at the grading outside. Our offer on the house reflected the idea that it was turnkey, so we feel like we're getting the short end of the stick unless we ask them for a lot of money here.
We aren't "house" people and aren't sure if this is just par for the course or if we're getting screwed, but my gut says we're getting screwed.
My question is more or less, what are others breaking points for when they'd walk away from a house in the neighborhood they want to be in, close to work, closer to kids school, and walking distance to pretty much everything you'd need?
