I just offered 55k over asking, pay some of their taxes, closing costs, and 15k appraisal gap coverage, and lost the bid. It's fucking insane. I am basically bribing people for the privilege of buying their house. This is the second one to fall through. I'm now looking at houses with 100k lower asking than the amount I'm actually targeting, just to have enough to be able to throw the biggest bribe at them. FUCKING SUCKS, I'm finally making the kind of money to get into an amazing house and here we are. Fuck.

Try a new construction. That’s where I’ve gotten houses a couple times. Dealing with greedy fucks don’t always work out

Just a different kind of greedy fucks. Every new plan I drive by is "starting in the low 450's!" or worse and most of the time you're getting a dog shit house for all that money.

They don't build normal fucking houses anymore. And if you actually do find a decent builder that will build you a quality home then the government will step in to rape you on utility connections, permitting, and any other stupid thing they can think of.

Got to find a trusted builder. I’d stay away from houses built by DR Horton. I’ve replaced all the dishwasher water heater ac coil and had leaks upstairs bathroom shower already.
