Quote from @Samuel Diouf: Hey Yu Jin,I can send you a graded map of Ohio our team created. 

Considering I am a beginner, I'd like to stay away from low end and high crime neighborhoods.

They had a lot of major things replaced in the last 2 years via a city program for senior citizens (roof, plumbing and sewer line, electrical panel but not a full rewire, windows, water heater) but the house needs a lot of cosmetic work and there's clearly water damage on the ceilings from previous roof leaks so likely some mold issues as well.The daughter mentioned comps in the area selling for 220k-230k but I think that's pretty high given the condition and location (19133 vs 19122 which is closer to the park).

For grading, perhaps call a landscaping company to see if they can regrade it so it slopes away from the house.

Have any of you purchased a property with a high fee and ended up regretting it??
