Of course we had a home inspection before we purchased. We already backed out of another home when they found that there had been an extensive fire in the attic and there was cracked asbestos everywhere.
My son had to be out of his apartment by May 31 and time was of the essence. we had looked at so many homes and all the homes in Tampa even when they try to hide it with a new coat of paint, need a lot of work. And the layout of this house was perfect for a roommate because there was separation and two different living areas. This would bring in $500 more per month in rent that my son could collect from a tenant.
So, a lot of thought went into this and we knew everything that had to be fixed, but it turned out to be a lot more than we had anticipated .
And we didn’t really understand that we needed a mini split as well because we thought we could just have the AC fixed somehow. And now we’re looking at another $7000.
The house will be really nice when it is done. The hard part is getting there.
