Thanks to all for jumping in. I do plan on doing some of the work myself. I have had the house informally inspected as I mentioned above, I've checked with the health department on septic tank location and have that factored into my numbers. I just sold my home which I lived in for 24 years so I have $$ to work with. Time is not a issue. I'm living in my parents basement lol. I think I'd be lucky to get it but like was said, it can't hurt to try. I was in the ballpark with what's been suggested to offer so we will see.
