I haven't gone all the way through with the process but looked into several when buying last.

I think it is a case by case basis. A lot of the time, you tour it just like any other for sale home. You can have the inspections and what not done if you want and you can negotiate if you want, but my realtor told me that they basically just ignore you unless they are unusually motivated(which usually they are not) or if your offer is very close to their ask and that the bank never GAF about what the inspection finds. My realtor went further to tell me that most realtors won't even show them because it is such a long drug out pain in the ass for the money they get.

Wow what a revelation! Would you also believe that a home would cost more in say LA. It's as if cost of living varies from city to city. Weird.

Hey buttface, I was talking MHK compared to Wichita. Not Alma compared to Wichita or something ridiculous

i think the answer that you're searching for is to remove yourselves from wichita

This is probably correct but I don't feel like looking for a job in addition to a house/condo.

In the long run it would pay for itself

Found a new patio home last night only about two miles from my current house. Size is about perfect. HOA takes care of all the landscaping and sprinklers/well. Going to look at this today. Best part is is backs up to a berm to block the field behind it so no neighbors behind me. Hopefully no chalk wielding kids.

Wichita is practically Oklahoma. Patio homes are basically trailers in the eyes of a tornado.

Some of them have a safe room.

The market in KC is really hot. I'm glad I'm not home searching right now. Although buying a house is fun.

apparently it's a massive pain in the ass because construction workers are complete dumbasses

We are changing directions so fast and often I can't keep track of what is going on.

But please get the dog before you move. Getting a dog in Seattle is very very hard.
