Look, me and my wife are in the process of looking for a house to buy as well. First of all let me just point something out. I thing it was very unappropriate for your fiance's father to go see the house before you too. At the very end, he is not going to be living at this house but you and your fiance. I understand that maybe he might have some experiance with real state, give him the benefit of the doubt. he might be right. But i think that since you found so many things wrong with the place and as you mentioned that it is located at a high crime area, i thing that this might not be something you will be happy in the future. Real State is really bad, specially where i live. If you were approved for a mortgage, you should go around and look at many properties as you can. Remember, there are too many house for sale and not enough buyers around with credit or willing to jump into a monthly mortgage. Shop around and make sure you get a good deal. Don't buy something that became a problem even before you guys signed any papers. I'm sure that this condo is not the only one around. After saying all this, take a look of what needs to be repaired in the condo and try to get a estimate and see how much it will cost to get it fixed. maybe you can buy a lower price and fixed the house. The main thing is not to give in to pressure. Besides everything, don't buy a place that will take long to fix. With things the way they are, who wants to pay rent, pay mortgage and pay for repairs all together.
I wish you good luck
