Most houses I've been in that went up during the housing speculation boom are pretty poorly built. The house we're in now in falls church is a prime example - shitty parts (windows, hvac, water heater, etc), doors are not square, electrical fiascos, moldings/counters/pipes/hvac/etc not installed correctly, and on, and on, and fucking on. Its really a disaster - and its supposed to be a $600k house with the prime location. If i were buying I'd probably leverage on at least $20-30k to get all this shit fixed up.
