prayers up please. It's kinda rundown bc that's all I can afford so I'm scared there will be something really big that makes it unviable to purchase. My neighborhood is starting to gentrify but the current owner wants to sell to me because she has only gotten offers from developers who want to tear it down and build some featureless cube. It's a really pretty old old brick house. I always wanted to live in a brick house and this might be my best chance.

Did the same thing two years ago--also in an older house that needed some work. As long as all the fundamental things are good (foundation, roof, etc.) are good, anything else can get fixed a little at a time. Definitely get your own inspection though, and be willing to walk away if there's anything really serious wrong and the seller won't fix it. The whole process is really scary and overwhelming at first, but don't let them pressure you. You can always walk away until you sign. Good luck!
