Don't worry God is good and there is always a way for the faithful. I have a couple of sources that work with ability to pay instead of credit scores. Give me a shout and let me know if I can be of assistance.

What do you mean by a Trash OUt business? Do you mean Clean Out or Make Ready? - Wed Oct 21 2009, 13:43

Oops! Sounds like you are having buyer's remorse due to all the repairs needed to get the house ready to live in or to sale for top dollar. You don't mention if the house was bought for personal use or investment. Either way, the Realtor really isn't the problem here and neither is the inspector. Did you know that technically the home inspection is good for the day the inspection is done? Good luck with trying to prove wrong doing. The inspector is licensed by the state and he is not going to put his license on the line for one inspection that pays him $350 to $500. So going after someone to justify your good or bad decision on buying this house will be hard to prove.

Here's a better question. Are you doing the repairs yourself, or is someone telling you the house is worst that it really is? If you are doing the repairs yourself and you are not an expert in this field, I can see where the frustration is coming from. But, if you are using an independent contractor to fix everything, I would start with bringing in a second opinion. Remember, the contractor is trying to make bank on you, so be sure you need the repair being suggested, research the price of everything before agreeing to the repair. And, be leary of a contractor that quotes you one price then wants to change it by adding on additional reparis. Keep the contractor to the original bid and supervise, supervise.

So if you bought a house to save yourself a couple of bucks, but now you have invested a couple of bucks to get it livable, was it really a saving? Unless, you are a season investor with deep pockets and strong connections in the real estate trade industry stay out of the foreclosure arena; especially with houses that need alot of repairs. I can almost bet your Realtor tried to tell you this, but all you could see were the savings and you didn't listen, right? So was it greed or wisdom being used that day? - Thu Oct 8 2009, 10:54
