Need home buying tips, any agents here, or anyone with buying experience? Long

I'll add that last year we ran the numbers on a fixer upper and were going to offer $1500 OVER the asking asking price.

We would have gotten it as it sold for $750 over asking.

In the grand scheme, that $750 is nothing compared to what the resale or rental income would have been.

We didn't do it because we would have had to do a 30 year instead of the 15 or 20 year financing we like to do, but it was nice to know we still "got it" when it comes to assessing repairs and value!
