Structure not meeting current code. Insurance inspector can always find something, technical or otherwise, if they don't want to do business. That house has wooden siding, and it's unlikely that's still sound if it's as old as the house. I think I remember that you're in the construction business, so you should know where to look for trouble. |

Google maps indicates the house is located in a rural area. Nothing wrong with that except your insurance rating will be high, and snow removal will be slow. The house has a septic tank, which is no concern if its doing the job. Taxes are almost $1000/year, which would be high here, maybe not where you are. |

Right now I wish I had gas heat, but it's to expensive to plumb my house (>$6K). A few years ago, though, gas was ridiculously expensive. |

At that price who cares if it is a short sale? They already came down a lot ( whoever "they" is).
A short sale only complicates things. I would look at septic, roof and electrical. |

Yeah, I couldn't believe how much they have come down. I plan on finding out more about it this week. It's a little closer to the road than I like but I can tolerate that. The interior pics look better than anything else I have seen in that price range in the area around Columbus, Indiana without being in parts I want to stay away from, ie high drug areas. Meth is a huge problem up here.

Pretty much any gas appliance can be modified for propane. There has never been any gas lines laid in my county, so if you want gas it's propane. Any gas appliance you buy here comes with a kit to do the modifications. (Basically different jets and a regulator, I think) We buy it by the gallon. It was $1.40 when we built the house. It's $3.79 a gallon now. It pretty much follows the price of gas, and it goes up in the winter when demand increases.

Yeh, my house in Maryland had a 3 car garage, and so the work bay was heated by Propane, and so was switched over yet again to nat gas via a line from the house....plumbing for gas is no sweat, done a bunch of it....
unless you find a propane leak with a torch, THEN it's fun....another thread.... any house on over 1/2 acre is a break in target, meth heads have cars too, you know.....and you have no neighbors close enough to watch your house, let alone hear/see anything....believe me when I say, my folks moved from a nice safe house in the 1/4 acre burbs to a isolated house out in 2 acre zoning, and it was hit 6 times in the years they stuck it out there.....last time some crap head in a 'red sports car' (hell, ANY red car was a 'sports car' to Mom) well he broke open the back kitchen door, and she hears the noise at ~83 or so and confronts him in the hall, he ran, she got lucky, all the rest of the breakins were done when they not home..... |

Assessed value has little to do with actual value. It's used solely to calculate ad valorem taxes...but usually assessed value is much lower than actual value.
