Thanks guys I appreciate the input! Yes I think the house does need some money put in to it. My friend inherited it from her Dad and he did little to it. It is a nice home and if I can stay there when I get back to TX I wouldn't mind helping her fix up the few things that still need fixed. She is disabled and has very little income, so I'm hoping I can help her out some. Especially the hot water heater needs to be replaced as she tells me right now it's dangerous, but she is afraid to ask any county programs for help as they might make her leave the house if they don't have a program that can replace it for free
