I , also was a first time homeowner. But I purchased a house in 1999. We knew the house was old. It needed new carpet/floors/bathroom. All in all it was a great starter house (so we thought). I lived there until july of 2003. (mind you I had great credit then the morgage company , Aames Home Loans, would hold our check for 3 weeks then charge us outrageous fees) That is a different story but NEVER USE AAMES HOME LOANS for anything. We used Remax to show us the home. (another mistake using a friends cousin) Who told us to use this guy and he was wonderful. (red flag when they say " OH HES WONDERFUL!!!" lol) The guy came out did an inspection. Told us the house had a recent roof, no electrical problems, no gas leaks, and the floors under the house looked wonderful. (the house was built in 1939 , then added on to from there). Well, we had a gas leak in the first 2 days we turned on the gas/electric/water. First time it rained, the sunporch leaked like there was no tomorrow, (we are talking HUGE water damage), the bathroom floor was about to fall through after a year of us living there, the bottom that connects to the drain from the tub wasn't even connected, the water pump went out, and I would smell what was like an electrical fire for years but I couldn't find the source. So all in all we were out 50k . That was before I moved out. My ex boyfriend stayed there. Until I believe it was Jan 3, 2004 . He woke up with the house full of smoke. Hes lucky he got out with the dog. The cats passed in the fire though. The house completely burned to the ground , which investigators tried to say he put a cig in some clothes and burnt it down. Come to find out it was bad electrical wiring in the wall of the bedroom. Thank God I moved out with my daughter before the fire started. And thank God , he got out alive. Guess what I am trying to get at , is that there should be serious laws and people should be held accountable for what they choose to do for their profession. As of now it seems you can do what you want and try to scam your way out of money from your mistakes from us hard working individuals. Good luck to you , and I would call the attorney general on the mortgage company for actually saying to use this guy and on the guy himself.
