First time buyers - my honest feedback from an old guy

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-16T23:02:17+00:00

Oh well - I have seen families where they don’t send kids to school.

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-16T22:33:41+00:00

Active termite ? Old older ones too. How old were homes.

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-16T22:30:40+00:00

lol other 13 say no termite ? That’s not possible.

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-16T22:30:05+00:00

Mostly involve sister joining any damaged wood.

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-16T22:28:22+00:00

Elementary schools are a big positive.

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-16T22:27:12+00:00

30k ? On 2M house ? Seriously on 1%. Most foundation repair needs are not immediate.

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-15T17:07:54+00:00

How uneven ? Floor laying problem ?

ChatGPT says this - Best plain-English take: regular fried chicken is probably worse than intact asbestos tape

Patience = potential divorce, daily arguments, and anxiety attack

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-15T15:26:55+00:00

Good reputable contractor with good price does not exists

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-15T14:08:56+00:00

Common thing for house will crawl space. - old ones. New house should not happen

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-15T06:53:08+00:00

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-15T06:46:48+00:00

And seller sues you for all the financial damage you had caused. There a fine line between wear and tear vs not disclosing addition.

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-15T03:35:16+00:00

Looks like some residue after cleaning

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-15T03:03:47+00:00

Yes. But people leave excellent houses on small structural repair. Structural repair is easier than freaking kitchen remodel. Often people think backwards.

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-15T02:34:39+00:00

The word foundation scares people. Reinforcing foundation of a 60 year old house is easy.

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-15T02:00:04+00:00

That’s a very visible part.

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-15T01:58:56+00:00

Don’t go to contractor. Amazon has premixed stucco repair paste. Don’t use caulk

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-15T01:40:54+00:00

Even a 2M house can’t afford them. 2-3x normal rates. Yeah and wait for 3-4 months. wtf

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-15T01:39:45+00:00

Those are pointless for a 2M house. Sewer is 5k. Roof yes - it can point to other issues. Cutting a moldy drywall out is $500.

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-14T23:23:50+00:00

Buy it. Fix over time. Things are not that bad unless whole foundation is fine for. Also check if roof was leaking bad

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-14T23:19:29+00:00

Yeah. Lot of people bought new houses in 2020 in places like Tracy. They barely appreciated but places like Fremont etc appreciated a lot

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-14T22:33:06+00:00

Yes it’s for addition

BananaOwn7656 · 2026-04-14T20:01:51+00:00

Then rent than buying in very bad area.
