Most of the time these homes are purchased by investors and I imagine they already know they will have to put a good amount of work into the home but once in a while I get a couple looking for a great deal on their first home. It's not my intention to get them to run away from the home but I want them to have realistic expectations and understand the potential for larger repairs other than a new coat of paint. Of course most things will be pointed out and reported on anyway..
Perhaps I am thinking too much out of the box on this.

I have wanted to say something like that more than once.
