Still no luck

Tracy and I looked at a house in Lake Mary this weekend. They wanted 200,000 for it which is a good price. Pretty nice house, 1900 sqft, 3 bedroom 2 bath, extra room for an office. So we decide that we’re going to make and offer. Our Realtor says that this is going to be a big bidding war, guess everyone else liked it too. We go to his office to start the paper work to make our offer. When we get there, the Mortgage Broker tells us that we need to read the disclosure for the house before making the offer. She says we need to see section 17 specifically. Backyard floods just about every time it rains, and they had over 2 feet of water in the house one time. Needless to say, we didn’t make an offer. That really sucks, but can you imagine buying the place without knowing about that. That would be a nightmare. So we’re looking again. Our Realtor, John, sent me a couple of listings this morning that he’s going to check out for us. Hope something comes up soon.
