Making an offer on a house

....granted it will be low ball.
The house is interesting. HUGE! 3600 sf or something
like that? 4 br and 3.5 baths. Well if you count a toilet
as a half bath, let me explain. Off of the family room there
is a door, open the door and it is a narrow small room, to
the right is another door that leads to the garage - to the
left is a toilet. :) The house needs some work, but nothing
major that we've found yet. We haven't checked the well
for instance, or the furnace and a/c. The soffitt and faschia
needs work, the windows are old, lots of painting. Some
minor stuff here and there, electrical is a mess. Flooring is
all good that we noticed, basement dry and crack free - no
signs of it ever having water problems. Cool bathroom in
the basement! Neat that it has a master bath off of the
bedroom. Cost of heating with propane would be a nightmare.
