If you are looking at this property you may want to be prepared to deal with a dishonest broker and seller's lawyer. While the house is very solid it needs everything. The broker advertise this house as in need of just minor updates, like $8K for electrical while in reality would need ~$40K at least, he claims he got this qupte well we went there with a contracttor and inspector and an expert on renovations and all three said at least 40K. It potentially has asbestos, lead paint, you name it, nothing has been done in decades. The owner expects the buyer to deal with the moving of her belongings and cleaning the house for them. The broker Michael Corley cannot be trusted. We had an accepted offer, our lawyer was working with the seller's lawyer, we were even requested to handle our inspection report to the seller's lawyer because the seller couldn't afford to do it on her own and wanted to use it to protect herself in the contract. We were told we were going to get a credit for it. Well, after we did this we never heard back from the seller's lawyer. Last contact we got was from this "broker" who told us that the seller decided to go with an offer that was $5K higher and poor financials. Who believes that? And of course we were never reimbursed for our expenses!
