I mean, a house in great shape is basically a lie - I've certainly never seen one. If it looks good, you have to wonder what you're not seeing.

Indeed. I think a lot of hesitance, on my part at least, to pull the trigger on a house is that I know that there will just be so much additional cost and work involved. They kind of strike me as money pits.

Text surrounded by asterisks (*) is italicized.

Text surrounded by plus signs (+) is bolded.

Text surrounded by vertical bars (|) is quoted. If you double-click a paragraph, it will be quoted.

Text surrounded by tildes (~) is blocked out.

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

Well, really any large purchase that will last a long time is a money pit. Look at it this way - At least you are not buying a boat.
