Stupid Home Buyers

It's difficult to find a word stronger than hate. Maybe loathe, disgust, detest, despise? I don't know but this is how I feel toward stupid home buyers. I blame them for this mess because at the end of the day, they signed the papers and screwed over good honest people.

Right now I'm selling my home. A very nice large home in excellent condition with an amazing view for 1/4mi, new real wood floors, and a bathroom larger than most peoples bedrooms. It's soo nice in fact that it sold in less than a month while other homes in the area have been on the market for over a year. After lowballing me and finally getting closer to reality the buyer is trying to bleed me to death with a new roof and AC. The roof has 6-8 years on it and the AC's, although old are in good shape with 4-5 years of life left. He's already getting a great deal and I even came down more so he could get approved! What is wrong with people. I guess the honorable or accepted thing to do these days is to act like a complete penis pump until somebody caves in. Screw him, ain't gonna happen. You just wasted $1,000 inspecting my home thanks.

If you're not in a rush to sell this can work but it depends on what's the carrying price on the house and what you're trying to achieve. Just remember that chance are any equity you receive will have already have the taxes paid on that and if you had to save the money, you would have to pay the state, federal, and FICA.

Tell him the wife and kids come with the house. That should do it for him.

Ha haa! If I told my wife that joke I'd really need the ramp. I'm kinda hoping he walks away, I think I can get a little more but I doubt he will. I think he's just doing what his Dad is telling him since he's the one fronting the DP.

Your right, I guess I'm naive about making things crystal clear, it's my first one. Won't happen again. Tearing off a perfectly good roof with 6+ yrs? Who does that. I wouldn't even ask if I was buying a home.
