How to Avoid a Money Pit: Be on the Lookout for these 6 Warning Signs That Could Mean Expensive Repairs\u2026<\/h2>\n

Many people think that serious defects in a home are easy to spot, but the truth is, often the most serious and costly problems can only be detected upon very close inspection. When you are considering buying a home, look for the following six telltale signs of serious problems\u2026<\/p>\n

1. Roof<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leaks are the most common problem with roofs, and are tough to detect from outside. However, from inside an attic, you can often see water marks where there is a leak.<\/p>\n

2. Plumbing System<\/b><\/p>\n

Make sure you are confident that both water systems: the one that brings fresh water in and the one that takes sewage out are functioning well before signing on the dotted line.<\/p>\n

3. Electrical Systems<\/b><\/p>\n

Before you agree to buy you should make sure that you can run all of the appliances you want to and even power tools at the same time without having a power failure. You also want to make sure that the electrical system is safe and does not present a fire hazard.<\/p>\n

4. Heating and Cooling Systems<\/b><\/p>\n

Be sure to thoroughly inspect the heating and air conditioning systems in any home you are considering purchasing.<\/p>\n

5. Bad Paint and Signs of Rotting<\/b><\/p>\n

The paint inside and outside the house can reveal a lot about the condition of the underlying material. Check several places on several walls, using your eyes and a screwdriver for poking.<\/p>\n

6. Cracks and other important signs<\/b><\/p>\n

Cracks in walls, doors not closing properly and uneven floors can all be signs that there is a problem with the foundation. If the foundation is not strong, the entire house could literally collapse, so you should carefully check for these signs. A bad foundation may not mean imminent disaster, but it could be used to bargain for a lower sale price, or you could ask to have the owner repair it before the sale.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-lg-3 vc_col-md-3″][ct_team_member image=”1468″ img_size=”300×300″ social=”%5B%7B%7D%5D” el_class=”single-team”][ct_space space_lg=”0″ space_md=”0″ space_sm=”0″ space_xs=”42″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
