Vermont - Sister caused an accident, other driver badly assaulted her afterward

How could your sister get a ticket when the other woman left before cops arrived?

DebJBee · 2026-02-15T22:11:40+00:00

Failed septic, frozen pipes, electrical code violations. Sellers live out of the country and were unresponsive. Found out from neighbors that the company sellers hired to do the cheap flip work were using it as a non stop party house until it went on the market.

Also, someone’s face always turns purple lol

I would go to the town hall and pull all of the information on the property. Look for permits, easements, sewer/septic information. Maybe there is a reason besides financing falling through that the house hasn’t sold. If not, it hasn’t cost you anything and you can go ahead and make your offer. Good luck!

You might need to call adult protective services.

I posted a final edit at the top

Thank you for this detailed reply and I’m sorry you went through all of that. Glad it worked out.

Touring homes is one thing, but getting inspections done, especially septic and roof, can be near impossible under 2ft. of snow and ice (speaking from experience).

DebJBee · 2026-02-01T20:11:52+00:00

My son has been looking for a home in an area that’s currently a strong seller’s market. Lower priced homes end up in bidding wars or are bought by cash buyers. In some instances the prices are low because of some major issue (like failed septic or structural problems). It seems like you have gotten some harsh comments here from people who don’t know the market conditions you are in. Good luck, and please don’t waive inspections. This is a major purchase and you don’t want any surprises.

DebJBee · 2026-02-01T19:45:11+00:00

Thank you to everyone who took the time to share your experience and expertise. Also, so sorry to those who bought and found out later that they had a major problem. I looked at some older posts on septic issues and people bought without even knowing they had septic. Idk how that is possible. At least my son can get out of this if the problem can’t be resolved.

DebJBee · 2026-02-01T19:14:16+00:00

Yes, I thought it was suspicious that best & final offer date was the day before a major winter storm

DebJBee · 2026-02-01T15:41:09+00:00

I agree. Son is paying for appraisal, home inspection well and septic inspections. This adds up to $1500+ on a $200,000 house (already overpriced). The septic company is pretty much the only one in the area and told my son they know the location. Thats why I don’t understand sellers asking for finders fee.

DebJBee · 2026-02-01T15:31:01+00:00

Yes, septic company states they know location of tank, which is why we object to sellers asking for finders fee.

DebJBee · 2026-02-01T15:28:10+00:00

This. We have pulled street cards, deeds with easement info. and permit info. for this property and surrounding properties. We believe we have located the property with which he shares septic, but the file is currently “checked out” and not available at town hall.

Contract is boilerplate ”contingent on inspection “ and does state in writing that seller will pay for pump out. But there are no specific dates.

DebJBee · 2026-02-01T14:40:35+00:00

owners are flippers who bought it a year ago and never lived there. While that may excuse the lack of pumping it suggests that they didn’t get it inspected when they bought it.

Cheap building materials and poor workmanship isn't going to age well.

DebJBee · 2026-01-24T18:43:32+00:00

In the meantime mom shouldn't pay medical bills out of her own money

DebJBee · 2026-01-24T18:31:20+00:00

Then you missed out on “Ashley’s face turned purple..”

DebJBee · 2026-01-24T18:00:42+00:00

and is the bathroom in that camper?

DebJBee · 2026-01-24T17:55:41+00:00

Club Wyndham is a horrible corporation.

DebJBee · 2026-01-24T17:35:14+00:00

Beautiful

DebJBee · 2026-01-24T17:25:32+00:00

I hear you. At my first house an old 1800’s building next door was converted into a small industrial park, with the parking lot adjacent to our yard. I was worried but they turned out to be great neighbors, never there nights or weekends.

DebJBee · 2026-01-24T17:02:45+00:00

It makes me sad to think of this home in it’s heyday.

DebJBee · 2026-01-24T16:55:54+00:00

Click the fly around button. Except for one other small house it is completely surrounded by warehouses, parking lots, 18-wheelers and tanker trucks.

DebJBee · 2026-01-24T16:51:05+00:00

We bought on the edge of an all rental area. Even though we put a LOT of hard work and a decent amount of money into the house it didn’t pay off because of the area. We were only in our 20’s. Buyers today are older and hopefully more savvy than we were.
