ParticipantThink about it this way. You have got to spend money on something! You are not going to take it with you!
(Assuming that the money spend is not going to bankrupt you) Will your family enjoy the house at the end of spending it? If so go ahead.

ParticipantJust do what your home inspector suggests and get an additional electrical inspection and a pool inspection. The home inspector is a generalist — the other folks are specialists.
Electrical stuff can be fixed. The pool might be a huge money pit, or it might be a small money pit … if you find that you don’t use it, you can cut your losses by having it filled.

ParticipantI don’t think they typically agree to seller paying closing costs on short sales… I could be wrong – but it seems counter intuitive.
As far as the inspection – I’d want to know more details about the pool leak… Is it minor and unlikely to get worse? Is it minor – but as water seeps through and finds the path of least resistance – likely to get worse? Is it already a big problem? It’s worth getting a pool expert out who can assess how serious it is and ballpark what it will cost to fix. Same with electrical. We’ve got lots of wiring in our house that wasn’t done by a licensed electrician – but it was done safely and is not a fire hazard.
As far as parasites… Yes – a home purchase generates a lot of fees & commissions for a lot of people. Realtors, title and escrow services, inspectors, mortgage brokers… Since this was a short sale add in short sale negotiator…. Lots of people getting lots of money. But these are one time charges. It will all be over soon.
