Insist on a very good home inspection. I'm guessing that 6'5" ceilings are not up to code - if this is an attic or basement conversion and it's not up to code and not legally permitted, you might be made to tear it all out if you buy it ( that's what happens in my state if you buy a home with an unpermitted addition). Be very careful. Also even if legal ceilings they low could make it difficult to resell, the price you pay should at least reflect that.
definitely going to hire a good home inspector. The one the ex and I had for our town home was great and is still around. It is very important that no major repairs aren't needed and everything is up to code. They recently replaced all the outlets, windows, doors, completely redid the bathrooms....... new roof 8 years ago.
They rejected my first offer right away, but came back with a counter, which is a good sign. I gave my absolute highest to my agent, and we shall see what happens. This home if cosmetically fixed will surely surely yield a profit when I sell. Fingers crossed!
