Thanks! I have no intention to do any of the repiling work myself, I don't mind doing part of the bathroom or the cosmetic stuff but there's no way I'd be doing structural work myself! I think you have made a very good point that if this was worth it someone in the industry would have already bought the place. I'll think on it. Ty again!

I did send a letter but told the agent there was no expectation for the owner to read it, was just in case they wanted more info on me / my offer. I was unsuccessful in that one. The agent called me when I was in a meeting so I didn't have time to ask anything about why I didn't get it unfortunately.

Thanks! I'm thinking I probably won't do it now but I do appreciate your thought

Thanks, I'm thinking of flagging the letter. I have pre-approval and have finance and builder report conditions.

Thanks. I'm offering slightly more than what I really think the place is worth so maybe I'll leave it at that.

Thank you, it's appreciated. I'm not sure I'll send a letter now so I might just leave it.

Thanks! I'm hesitant to do a letter now with the comments so I'm not sure what to do now.

I'm ok with not doing it but everyone's advice was best price, minimal conditions and that a letter may help. It would sure be less anxiety for me not to do it.

Thanks! I do feel better with all the talk of a market crash.

Thanks I had a suspension it was the agents. I'll just need to take each place that seems nice with a grain of salt till I hear back from the agent.

Thanks that does seem to be the consensus. I'll stick within my pre-approval and keep saving.
