[quote=bearishgurl]You have it right there. It doesn’t meet her wants/needs.[/quote]
FINALLY you are agreeing to that.

Athis property is NOT a “heavy fixer.” Along with the tremendous and well-landscaped BY, you may also have noticed that the garage can be moved to face the other street (at a cost of $40-$50K) and the existing garage be properly remodeled into the house. [/quote]
The backyard is not THAT great shape – very poor drainage and therefore muddy; the slope is collapsing down from the dirt weight and is propped up. Needs fixing too. The garage is not fully detached or detachable- it was weird how most but not all the walls were planks painted over.
Even if adding the detached garage is doable (which may not be because of slope of the land which you can’t see online) you would lose a part of the yard, if I understand you right, which was the inital attraction.

Scarlett must accept the aged inventory as it is in UC, if she wants UC . . . or do her home shopping elsewhere. She has stated she doesn’t have the resources or budget for a complete remodel in UC (unless she can avail herself of the FHA 203K program). [/quote]
Thanks for repeating my words. That’s why I don’t shop much in UC – in general out of my price range unless I put up with a fixer – which we don’t have the time and money for. But we may get lucky but unlikely. Which is why I was looking more in other areas. It took you a LOOOOOONG time to come around to see my way of thinking.
[quote=bearishgurl]I’ve never tried to “shove” anything down a buyer’s throat.[/quote]
Yes you did. You are backtracking now.
[quote=bearishgurl]Unless Scarlett has found a “pocket listing” in UC that she now wants to make an offer on (seriously doubt this if it is an REO) there appear to be currently one residential SFR in UC with an asking price <=$500K and that is Ramsay/Haworth.[/quote]
I am seriously lowballing, remember? So don't look at asking price. I am just saying that even if the house I am lowballing is aged, I am fine with the room sizes. So I am ok with AGE, I just try to get it a lower price that I can afford without having to fix it up.
[quote=bearishgurl]it is a GREAT property for a young buyer looking to get into UC (get their foot in the door), barring any structural defects.[/quote]
I totally agree. I am sure it will be a perfect property for another couple. Not for us. We are not that young and not first-time buyers either.
