Dr. Witherbone posted:The city inspector heavily implied he should actually do that, lol Seems like if he didn't bother fixing anything that would've inevitably happened anyways. The only question is would the fire happen before: 1) He got sick from black mold and other fun from the flooding issues 2) Part of the house collapsed and crushed him 3) He got diseased from the roof mounted raccoon latrine Seems like with this guy 1 & 3 would happen shortly before 2 and while he lays there pinned under a mound of failure the fire would finally happen. And as the flames lick at his flesh his final vision will be looking out a shattered window into the yard now illuminated with the falling ashen embers of his dream. In that eerie flickering twilight he sees the raccoons and his girlfriend furiously cucking him, all their eyes as obsidian unfeeling voids staring back him.

Seems like it'd be cheaper (read: safer) to just tear out anything reusable, level the drat thing and start from scratch.

You should always hire a home inspector to do a thorough once over before buying any house or even condo

A misanthrope posted:owning houses is for chumps Condo, it's like owning a house but someone else fixes poo poo. My toilet was running a few months ago, I called the concierge and one of the maintenance guys came and fixed it while I was at work the next morning. Plus you get a big lawn, pool, gym, tennis court, function space, valet, 24 hour security, people to unload your car and bring your stuff up and they open the door for you. Definitely condominium.

He got suckered into it sure but yeah he's pretty much a victim here. I think the upside to this is that it looks like he's going to get money help from the publicity over this and that this will result in new laws passed to better protect against this sort of thing.

Alereon posted:he did have the place inspected, inspectors are there to find incompetence and negligence not intentionally covered-up fraud. Home inspection is an amazing scam. Every home inspector has a contract that says, "Even if I totally gently caress up and you love everything, all I have to do is give you a refund". At some point they'll become regulated as a profession and those clauses will be abolished. Until then, all a home inspection is good for is screwing buyers as it allows the sellers to argue "He had a home inspection! They should have realized that the water and sewer lines shared a connection!" when they get sued.

Home inspections are really useful as negotiating leverage, yeah sellers can hide serious poo poo from inspectors but for things like water heaters that need to be replaced its nice to have a document that you can take to a seller and say "This, this and this has to be fixed and it is going to cost $X, here are the comps, come off the price."

mookface posted:How the gently caress do people fix poo poo in a privately owned condo for free? I am getting screwed here We have two full time maintenance guys on staff 24/7, if it is something they can fix they will fix it for parts only. For stuff like plumbing the management company has full time licensed plumbers on staff, we have to pay but it is well below market because they work full time for the company. I guess it is one of the perks of living at a medium sized building that has full time staff.

That waiver thing you guys are flipping out about is fairly standard practice, I signed a similar thing when I bought my house. It's to prevent unforeseen problems and stupid bullshit from biting the seller in the rear end, otherwise there would be so many cases where the seller would get hounded for poo poo like a single cracked tile or loose carpet or something. The guys that sold this particular house used the clause in a predatory way for sure, though. Also most condos don't have a "concierge" and are an absolute nightmare to get anything fixed in. I bet three olives pays exorbitant condo fees.

Whenever I buy a new home I immediately burn it down, allowing firefighters to misidentify the unfortunate hobo corpse as myself. I then look for death certificates of new born children who would have been my age and assume their identity. Then I find a nice apartment and repair my credit and save up for a nice home.

In defense of the idiot that bought this house you do typically have to disclose anything that you KNOW that that might materially affect the value of the house, sometimes down to ghosts and deaths in the house. Seriously, ghosts. You are shielded from things you were not aware of and couldn't reasonably expected to be aware of like disasters behind drywall but if you know the house wasn't constructed to code you have to disclose that and are liable if you don't.

I'm no legal expert but even with the waiver this guy signed the previous owners are still liable. If it's true that his realtor "coached" him in signing the waiver, and given the amount of poo poo that is wrong with this house that was not completely obvious at first blush. A judge is likely to find that the waiver is "Unconscionable" or even fraudulent and should be thrown out.

His face alone says everything. He looks exactly like I would expect of an idiot who would sign a waiver. Seriously the second you see that poo poo red flags should be going off. E: HoboZero posted:It feels a little like blaming a rape victim, but this guy is a tremendous loving idiot who ignored all possible signs of his impending stretched rear end in a top hat. I notice that he only contacts the county inspector after he's laid his livelihood on the tracks and signed the giant "can we gently caress you with no possible recourse you dolt" form. Holy poo poo. LoL they literally took his drink and filled it with roofies right in front of his loving face and said. "Drink this so I can rape you." He took the glass, didn't even look at it twice and said, "Okay!" As he guzzled it down. I really have no sympathy for him. This is the star citizen of houses. Except this is an actual frame of a house. Minus a few load bearings... Al Borland fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Jul 12, 2014 |

Regardless of a 1031 transaction and waiver, this dude's attorney seems pretty lovely if he can't get a complaint for fraud filed against the person who sold the house. If anything a 1031 gives a good trail of where the assets have gone since his sale.
