My wife and I are trying to buy a foreclosed home at the moment, close to riding, just about everything we want without making us house poor. I've even followed some free RM advice, and we could easily pay for the thing with one job, if need be.
sooooooo.... We were waiting on well and septic inpsections before we approved the appraisal, because if we bail after appriasal, then we would have to pay for the appraisal out of pocket.
We just found out that our lender/realtor put in for and had the appraisal done without us knowing, while claiming that the bank selling the foreclosed property is going to fix the well (required by law in washington state).
So now they are on the second test of the well water, and are going to "shock" the well. I have researched this, but I'm pissed that they did the appraisal and feeling like they are trying to lock us into a sketchy situation.
So appraisal bullsh*t aside, is having to shock a well necessarily a bad thing? Anything I need to know? After a quick search on a subject that is completely new to me, i have found how-to's and some information saying that it's not that big of a deal. F*ckin realtors...
