Buying the House

A bit of a tailwind, here.  Dad says he doesn't want me to buy the house that we're living in.  It has too many problems.  My problem is that it's the probably the only place we can afford that's this convenient to work and everywhere else.


A house inspection will cost around $450.00.
Abacus Plumbing said putting a camera and cable down our line will cost $150 but first they would need to jet out the line because there's so much grease they can't see.  The jetting will cost $750.




We save a little money and time by not having to move.  I have mental plans for that lot and the lot behind our house.  If we can get this property, tear it down, and build a new house, that would be great.  I'd really like to buy the house on the corner next to us, and tear it down too. 




The plan, and I hope I'm not repeating myself to you:
Buy the house we're in.  Clean, repair, renovate, until we can get more outside funding.
Buy the house next door.
Tear down both houses.
Build a single, new, high efficiency house.
Get solar power and natural gas power and transfer out any surplus.
Use that surplus to help either the City of Houston and people in the neighborhood to get solar, and reduce their electricity costs.
