I just bought a home for $15,000. It had been listed for $79,900 but the price was lowered when they discovered several major faults. There is an electrical short which is sparking in the house. There is also a gas leak and the house has the strong odor of gas. I just paid cash for it and the closing was yesterday. I'm a little short on cash after that, and I want to get some homeowners insurance before I begin repairs, in case someone gets hurt. So it may be a few weeks before I get started on the repairs. When I do, which problem should I fix first?
