How often does Soc. Sec. reverse a "favorable" decision?

We Answered:

The problem you will run into is that if you buy a fixer upper, you take the risk of not being to qualify for a $12,000 loan for a new roof since you will also owe $44,000 for the loan of the house. It will be hard to qualify on disability for two large loans. You should go for a home that is as problem free as you can find it. Most people put down 20% when purchasing a new home. You also will have the occasional repair such as heating/air expenses and even replacing the units which costs around $3000. Then there is the hot water tank about every 10 to 15 years. Also appliances break down and need repairing. Then there is the plumbing when it goes on the blitz, and you will have the added repair of the septic tank.
