Looking to buy a bridge...

If anyone out there has a bridge that they want to sell, i'm sure my husband would be willing to buy it.

My hubby is the most naive person i know. The house he wants is $105,000. The person selling it is going through a divorce. Supposedly they have to sell it for what they owe on it. Ok, i get that. But these people have lived there for over 15 years now. I don't care how many renovations you do to a house, there is no way that you could still owe over $100,000 on a house you've lived in for over 15 years. No way!
Frank thinks it's a great deal, and we should just offer the $105,000 AND to pay the closing costs ourselves. I think he's out of his tiny little mind! If i did that, i would feel like i was being taken for a fool. Frank swears that the house and the garage are worth way more than that, and that we'd be getting such a great deal. If someone isn't willing to negotiate, even a little bit, i'm not going to be taken for a fool. And i'm not even totally in love with the house. I feel like there is so much work that needs to be done upstairs. The only thing i really love is the back porch and back yard. Frank just wants to garage, i know it.

How can i justify spending THAT much money on a house i don't LOVE?!
