This is where it pays to hire a house Appraiser / Inspector.

As a guess, it would cost you perhaps two to four hundred dollars for the service. But, you would then know what you're getting into.

Obviously, you need to be pretty certain you have a serious interest in the house and indeed decide beforehand on a max budget for repairs.

Absolutamente!

My Realtor and honorary Jewish Mother, Trude - always insisted upon a (bloody good) Inspector, a Licensed one. Period.

(And an 'architect' - then.. at a pittance - on any serious remodel: that guy saved us Thousands for a few hundred. Acting as manager of the subs alone was worth his fee many times over.) I suspect that with todays biz-ethics.. all even More So.

Luck - be paranoid; imagine that Bill O'Reilly or Dick Cheney are the 'sellers'.
