<prompt> Human: My wife and I are house shopping and we found one that seemed to be a hidden gem with 2300 sq. ft. We made an offer of 102k that was immediately accepted and were both overjoyed. The house inspection revealed serious leakage in basement along with structural damage from poor drainage from the outside. The walls are visibly starting to cave in. We wanted to see how bad the damage was to adjust our offer or decide to back out so we brought in a basement specialist. The basement specialist quoted 20-30k to fix everything also citting that his quote was dependent on some fixes being done to code which does not seem likely. My wife and I are now in disagreement about how to move forward. I want to leave this house alone and move on to another one. My wife thinks this house is worth up to 90k. We are both first time home buyers and neither of us really know what the risks are. I am worried the risks are too much and I still dont want to buy a house without knowing all the risks. My wife thinks this house is an opportunity for the amount of space that we could easily start a family in. Aside from the basement all other issues that could be resolved by us. They are DIY problems that are fairly superficial. So this house is a good buy without the basement problems. Im hoping people can give thoughts and opinions to help us decide how much hassle and risk is involved.  <response>: RUN!!!There is always another house. :
