ummm, Why would you have to fix a house up prior to closing on a condition of sale??? That seem's kind of backwards to me. What will stop him from saying that the repairs are unsatisfactory and see ya later?
HA

You are going to buy a house and the seller has you fixing the place up at your expense? Wow never heard of that. I have heard of banks demanding certain things be fixed before the sale of the house can be made. But again, that is normally the seller's responsibility. But have fun.

less then $200 of repairs, I was saying all day. but saves us $3600. one more day of touch up painting, clean up the mess. hope for the best we got it all. all really is some flaking paint.
it is good for me.
trust me, all that yall are saying is in the back of my mind. we do the work. the fha loan is an pain. do all the work, they don't approved. next people that go for the house has less to work with.

Thats all we are saying Corey, It may be only $200 but, then you have your time in there as well. I am speaking from experience on this one, I have had it happen. I done some work after we signed the contract and then before closing found out there was a lein on the house. It ended up costing me.

there is no lein on the house. just one of the conditions of the loan there can't be any flaking outside paint, broken windows, and no chipping paint around the out side windows.
it is an paint

This sounds like a bank requirement. I have seen sometimes they approve a loan with conditions. And often the bank will up front the repair costs. But the repairs must be made. So it sounds like you're going to be a home owner. Now the headaches really start.
Take from someone that used to own rental properties and homes.. up keep never stops. But if you stay on top of the small things, they don't become bigger things. Good luck with your home. I wish you and your wife the very best.
