Three homebuyer questions—and three very direct answers:
🏚️ Should I buy a home that needs cosmetic work?
Yes. Ugly is fixable. Location isn’t. Buy in the right location, make it your own, and you may create additional equity.
🔍 Should I waive the inspection to make my offer more attractive?
No. That’s an enormous risk. The market will eventually slow down; the problems you inherit won’t magically disappear.
🛢️ Should I buy a house with a buried oil tank if the seller refuses to remove it?
Absolutely not. Move on to the next house.
Would you follow all three pieces of advice?
