I got a little life lesson about 20 years ago, when I was buying a property in Vermont..

At our initial negotiation. We mentioned we were going to have an Inspection done by a"PROFESSIONAL"

The owner of the house said go ahead.. His price for the sale was fixed no matter what the inspection found.. and he would not do any repairs etc...

The price for the property was " As Is"

My brothers and I did a walk through and identified some areas that we thought needed attention..

Seller says: Price is as is.....

We bought the place.... and made some improvements and have enjoyed the place for many years..
