Like what the fuck IS this? In order to know anything meaningful about a house, I need it inspected, but to get it inspected I need to fucking put money down AND PAY FOR THE FUCKING INSPECTION and if it's fucked and I don't want to buy it then woops I lose all this fucking money? Jesus fucking christ it's a turbo charged version of the apartment application fee scam. Fucking christ. Who decided on all this bullshit? Infinite guillotines for all of them

This is one of those things that just really go to show the fucked up extremism of the bourgeoisie, like, you could have capitalist hell and still have like mandatory state run inspections, the details of which are public, for every property being sold. But woops, nope, fuck you peasant

You'd think with how this country jerks itself raw over home owners it wouldn't be this way, but WOOPS

This post brought to you by my gf and I being incredibly anxious over maybe buying a house that seems okay but has a slab foundation so like i don't fucking know what condition the plumbing is in

I’d rather risk having to replace the plumbing than have to continue dealing with having a landlord. Our house was affordable because it’s falling apart and I’d pick buying it again over having to continue rolling the dice with landlords. Every time. Buying our house absolutely ruined our finances and it took us about 2 years to fully recover. I still don’t know how we afforded all the hidden fees and closing costs and shit. But we did. Again, worth. Not to mention our bank doesn’t give us a hard time about being late on our mortgage as long as I make a payment arrangement and stick to it. I’ve never had a landlord who didn’t immediately give me an ultimatum if I didn’t pay in full exactly on time.
