Seeking recommendations on whether or not to continue with contract or cancel

Hi everyone,

I'm a first time home buyer, that's also engaged.

We found a home, that was originally bought by an LLC to be flipped.

There are some great pros to the home, but also there are great cons as well.

Pros:

  1. Great kitchen
  2. In our price range
  3. Has a great backyard
  4. Plenty of space for us to grow our family

Cons:

  1. Previous foundation work done, that was not comprehensive, so this could lead to further costs
  2. The home is from 1960, there are galvanized pipes in the home, that already show signs of needing replacement: low flow, leaks
  3. I see somewhere between 20k$ to 50k$ of contracting work for various issues after the big two mentioned.

I can't tell whether to continue with further inspections by specialists, or to walk away.

What would you advise?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
