I went to check out the house I'm interested in with the realtor. She gave some basic information, but had never been to the house before. The house looked pretty good inside and out, but there was some leaking from the roof, though the floor and wall damage was not very bad. The realtor said she thought I would need to put on a new roof. She also saw some damage to a corner of the foundation in the basement. The utilities were not on. I've asked the realtor to see if she can get them turned on so I can get someone I've used before to give the house a thorough check and then get back to me.
If the utilities do come on and all the systems are in good shape, I believe I will purchase the house and put an efficient, but lower cost steel metal roof on it. I can afford that.
And so, I will have to wait until next week when hopefully the house will be checked out.
