I am buying a family home that was built ten years ago by my grandfather.
the house sits on a 4 acre plot of land (mostly field) with 30 acres of timber surrounding the entire property. the location is in South Carolina near North Carolinas boarder. the house is in a living estate, which basically means my two brothers and I own a portion of it. one brother has recently been paralyzed and doesn't want anything to with the property anymore. he owns a house with two kids and wants nothing in return for the house. the other brother is a heroin addict and doesn't have a pot to piss in. he said he just wants a car in return for the house. (the car is valued at $15,000)
here is some info on the house.
my grandfather owned a fairly large construction business building houses before he passed away, so the house is professionally built.
the house is about ten years old with little defects. my mother lived in the house for a few years but now has remarried and moved out. she did a great job at keeping up the house maintenance when needed.
there are no signs of insects, cracks, or water damage. the property runs off a well for water. the electric bill stays pretty low due to the design of the house. my grandfather prided himself on designing his houses to be economically efficient.
massive two car garage, which is attached to the house. two level house. four bedrooms and two bath on the first level, and one huge room upstairs. hard wood floors throughout the house, and carpet in the rooms.
all in all the house is in pretty good condition. I just wanted to be quick on the details because there really isn't too much wrong with the house.
I'm 25 and married. no kids and no debt. I have $30,000 saved. I do contract work for manufacturing companies around the US. I don't have any plans on moving to south Carolina anytime soon because I make really great money traveling.
I figure I would keep contracting and saving money for a while. I wouldn't have an outrageous mortgage like most people so the risk of not finding work wouldn't matter.
Does the Reddit community have any advice??
please excuse my formatting and grammar. I'm using my phone to write this.
