Since most contracts stae the property is being purchased in it's as is physical condition every property sold in Ohio is sold as is. I agree a professional home inspection is your best bet, making sure your contract is contingent on the results of the inspection. Also look really close at the sellers disclosures. - Sun Jun 29 2008, 11:00
Definitely consider FHA since this is one of the best ways for a buyer with decent credit to buy a home. The guidelines and inspections are nothing to worry about, any good agent in the business for a while can pick out what FHA is looking for. Just remeber costs are negotiable and look at your net when considering an offer. I've been in the business 23 years and have done numerous FHA's. You might even consider a pre-sale home inspection. - Sun Jun 29 2008, 06:45
