WHY ARE YOU YELLING?!! LOL. Welcome to the forums and congrats on the buy. I'd say you need to check your stringers. Soft floors are usually an indicator that there's more rot underneath, especially if he didn't cover it for a couple of years.

lol sorry i had caps lock on. i imagine that stringers are not really strings but maybe something like floor joists?
