An “as-is” sale doesn’t automatically mean something is wrong – it simply means the seller isn’t planning to make repairs.
It’s up to you to uncover what that actually means for the property’s value.
Instead of assuming risk, approach these homes with questions. Why is the seller unwilling to negotiate on repairs? Have major systems been inspected recently? Is the price adjusted for the work that may be required?
