We have bought and sold many homes. If I was currently looking for a house that was 15 to 20 years old, I would not rule out one that needs or is going to need a new roof soon. Just build the cost (or most of the cost) into your offer. The insurance on the house should cost in the 1200 - 1500 range if you have a good credit rating. Good luck in your search.
