Braintrust,
Looking at buying a Log home in the northeast. Looking at some of the pluses everything looks rosy. Did some research on maintenance and scared the bejesus out of me.

Built 1978
Renovated 2006
Solar panels

Any real world experience you can share? In this market there is no time to lose unfortunately. By the same token, any input on how difficult it might be to sell one down the line?

Pluses: Eco friendly, Big space, High ceilings, good square footage, excellent land, big garage, Nice back deck and privacy.

Little devil on the other shoulder: maintenance, stripping and staining, caulking cracks, replacing rotted logs, insect infestation, water ingress, mold, finding an inspector with such a knowledge of Log homes, potential resale issues…

A lot of these issues are no different than any other house, I understand that.

Any advice appreciated.
