Re: What are some questions to ask..
You can definitely ask if they're negotable on price at an OH. Also ask what kind of timeline they're on - need to move asap, can move whenever, etc. This sometimes will give you an indication on how firm they are on asking price also.
Most OH's will provide a sheet with all pertinent info but sometimes it's not chock full of info so be sure to ask what has been updated (cesspool, roof, etc). Check every nook & cranny - pull open the circuit breaker box (check for updates 100, 150, 200), check windows, water pressure, etc.
Check in the attic (if applicable).
