Hi Guys, I bought a 1977 built house which was last sold for $390k in 2019 and I paid $650k. After moving in we found the cabinet drawers were broken and the house had plumbing issues which will cost up to $2k to fix. Surely I am not the only one who had these issues. Anyone else want to share their story ?

Bought a 90s build just as the post-covid market explosion was starting.

Missed a rotting wall and carpet from badly installed taps. It was surprisingly straightforward to remedy, cost us under $1k in repairs and new carpet and I suspect saved us tens of thousands on the asking price given the market at the time.
