Hey lads my sister is buying a house for 150k in a decent area

That depends. How old is the house? Is it in an HOA?

You can usually find public records on houses. Look for when they where built.

>>2008074
1951

>>2008062
No it's not but have to put 1k earnest money just to check it out, is this common?

About to go check it out here in a few hours, what are some red flags lads

>>2008051
protip: don't live in kc they place is dogshit usa

>>2009553
I have been all over the US, its all the same imo

Alright things have changed i have taken over, going to check the house out at 3. I'll probably low ball them since it is such a old house and go from there

>>2008051
get the house inspected BEFORE you make an offer

>>2008051
also, get a BPO (broker's price opinion) from a third party

>what she should be looking out for from shifty jews
usually public housing or apartments to shift nigs into the school system.

What i said, she says you get it back but it's just to show you are a serious buyer? Idk chicks are dumb

>>2010355
Never heard of this. Then again I've never bought a house.

>>2008170
oh god
that year and that price
let me guess

it's a shitty slab house built in a hurry for GI's returning from the war, probably north of Shawnee Mission Parkway, that smells like cat piss every time you open the door

>>2009553
I agree with this, but am afraid I will feel the exact same way about living anywhere else

It's not uncommon although I would argue that it's not necessary for a $150k house. Maybe someone got murdered in it so they thought they'd have a lot of looky lous.

Right on the money. I was actually wondering why so many houses looked the same but that's defiantly why now that i think about it. I plan on adding some modern stuff (badass firepit patio) and taking a profit on it in 2-3 years, it wasn't too bad

And when you get the house inspected you need to find your own inspector, don't use one provided by the realtor. I did and the inspector that I still payed for swept stuff under the rug that should have caused me to walk or get a nice chunk knocked off the price. But I trusted someone who just wanted to make a sale.

>>2008051
She's an idiot. Just buy some 50K shitter or get cheap rent and invest the rest. Fucking normies complain about being poor after doing stupid shit like this.

>>2013054
Eh based on location alone it will at the very least hold its value, having a inspection done then probably going.hakf as long as she agrees to sell in 2-3 years
