Doubt

I recently discovered a web site full of advice and blogs about renovating old homes- www.oldhouseweb.com. One blog in particular captured my attention and against my will I was compelled to read their story from the purchase of their property several years ago to the very recent sale of their home. It was entertaining, educational and scary as hell. I won't lie, it's given me second thoughts about tackling the purchase of an old house. If I'm able to proceed w/ the purchase, there will not be additional funds immediately available for repairs. I'll be forced to repair things over time as I'm able. Given some of the things that could be hidden, even after it's been inspected several times, I could end up w/ problems that I'm unprepared to handle financially.

I think I'm still willing to gamble but during this waiting period of probably another week before I have an answer from the bank, it's given me something to think about.

If you're considering purchasing an older home and want to find out information from someone who's been there, done that, check out this blog:
