land foreclosures in georgia
I Really Want to Buy This House, But is it Really worth buying? Help!?
I am looking at a home in Georgia, where my family is from. I am very interested in the house my grandparents lived in when i was a child. The home has approximately 2000 sqft and sits on 0.45 acres of land. The home was built in 1925 and has 3 beds, 2 baths, a living room, den, kitchen, dining room, and washroom. The house is very growed up. Its covered in vines and the grass and bushes are taller than the house. The only structural problems is that there is a sagging floor in a section of the den and a section of the dining room. Both bathrooms also need plumbing work. The house has newly put blue vinyl siding and needs a new roof. The was in foreclosure about 2 years ago. There is also an apartment building that comes along with the house. It also needs to be updated and remodled.
If you have lived in a house of this age then you will know what kind of problems can come with it- everything.
My father wanted to buy a house that was special in his family- thank goodness he didn’t. There have since been two families go broke trying to fix it up.
At least have the house professionally inspected and estimates made of what all needs to be done. You may be money ahead just tearing it down and building a modern home that looks sort of like it.
