this is a long rant, but my husband and i need help if there is anything we haven’t thought of yet.

my husband and i bought a house a year and a half ago for $147k, and we thought we would be here for a lot longer. but my husband got offered a new job we couldn’t pass up. exact same pay as where we are, and we already found a house where we are moving.

we put our house on the market and immediately got an offer that we took, they wanted it so bad they offered $161k. we thought life was amazing. until the inspector came- said he recommends we replace all the plumbing, need a whole new roof, and need someone to redo the electrical.

we are broke. we made $2k on the house only having it for a year— we paid all interest the first year, of course. we had a plumber come out to look at our house, he said there are places he recommended replacing in the piping but there isn’t anything wrong with all of the piping to need to replace EVERYTHING, it’s just older. the buyers done care, they want us to replace all the piping for 16k-20k. we can’t.

when we got the roof inspected when we bought the house the guy said it was at about half it’s life. great. 2 new inspectors came and said it’s dead, and it’s not from storms or anything. so insurance won’t cover it. $25k to replace, we can’t.

we do have a guy coming to fix all the electrical for them.

is there any way we can come out of this not going into debt? we don’t care if we make $0 selling this house. we just can’t be $40k in debt. we want to be done with these buyers and relist as is but our realtor thinks it’s a horrible idea. please help. i’m pregnant and stressed and just never want to look at this house again.
