In four years of owning my home I went an additional 50k in debt over things that were hidden and not revealed during inspection or random unlucky things like a pipe bursting in the same basement room twice in six months (bad fitting replaced with an apparently counterfeit fitting). I'm just about to close on the sale and have no idea what my next steps are because wow, that was a terrible financial experience.
I'm not even breaking even on the sale even though the house is now in perfect condition, because it's a very small town and people noticed how many repairs were going on in those few years :(
A new roof on a basic straight shotgun house used to be $5-6k, in 2019. 2023: $15k. And it needs to be total paid on completion. This is why people don’t do repairs.
