Well tomorrow is where I actually officially do the offer but yeah, offering 160k on a 187k house. It's low, but the agent said they are really willing to negotiate, and there is lot of repairs.
I figured everything out and I can afford it. It will be tight though, and hopefully I can afford to keep the server running but think I'll get by ok.
So yeah, if they do take that offer I may have myself a house.

It's MINE! I offer 160k they said 165k which was my max, so I took it.
Still have some stuff to do such as an inspection so it's not 100% yet but it's close!
More details later.

Congrats Squirrel. Can I be upgraded to a larger room in the house now? Perhaps a teepee made out of TP.
