If you are considering a home, you must see it in person before you can make an informed decision to check into it furather. So what if it is a few hours away. Were you thinking of buying it sight unseen? Maybe someone else already has a contract on it if realtor didnt return your call. Who knows.
If I was seriously interested in it, I would drive over to see it if the drive was less than 5 hours.

I have learned a lot though.. thanks to many opinions which I survey and conclude there is not a way to define the problems w/o personally seeing and getting a professional bottom line.

We like to bring homes "back to life".. and have now added a fire damaged home into the shopping list.
