I low balled him by 30% i think. a few days later broker called me to counter my offer. i told him to forget it, the house was too big and i cannot afford it. he called back in 5 minutes and told me i bought a house. i couldn't believe it. four bedroom brick rancher, huge family room formal dining room and living room. i also offered him $250. for drapes and living room furniture as i didn't have anything to fill the house. He wanted $500. for the fake plants throughout the basement and tables and chairs. told him i couldn't use them as wife couldn't climb stairs and that was why i was interested in ranch. he left it all their. i found later guy had eight leans against his house. i waited at closing while contractors were down the street at another bank getting their money to clear the leans.
