Today im lookomg at hoise that was built in like the 1870s. From the pictures I LOVE the architecture. New houses built these days look like such boring garbage made of paper. Just copy and paste everywhere.

I always check the heating/hot water and plumbing before anything else -second only to foundation!Then I look over the rest of the house

THANK YOU FOR THE VISUAL TUTORIAL!!!😄 THIS IS THE INSPECTION I WAS LOOKING FOR!!😊

Thank you so much, for your advise.

Houses around me are built in the 50's. I've also seen a few pushing 100 years old. The older the home, the more problems which can arise. A huge red flag for me is mold or moisture.

Yes, homes that old you have to inspect everything. Plumbing and electrical would also be a main concern.

@King-2077

Well part of it is correct but I disagree with the older the more problems. Older homes can be as great as the newer ones if the ones you got have been taken care of and updated throughout the years. There are older homes out there that were neglected and same thing can br said to some newer ones out there. As long as you get a thorough inspection to your house you should be good to go.

We were going to buy a house like a month ago, but in the end we couldn't qualify because my dad had an emergency trip to Mexico, at fist it was disappointing, but now we are glad after watching this video. The house had too many problems it would be super expensive to fix everything. It was a beautiful house but when the inspection said another story.

These main issues, can cost a lot of money to fix. Make sure the price reflects the condition of the house...if you are not in a multiple offer situation. Some sellers are willing to make repairs if negotiated.

Visit the street a couple times.

Some walls are load bearing and you can't just remove them without some beam installation.

Cat pee smell is also a sign someone was cooking meth and was once a flop house or someone broke into it to cook meth. Either way it's a hard pass. Beware of moldy odors too. Swamp coolers should be outlawed as they ALWAYS cause mold problems. A disease machine. Get your Legioneers disease here.

Always find out how old the roof, the HVAC, the appliances are. Look at a year’s worth of utility bills, and adjust your offer accordingly. Also, ask the seller to pay for a year’s home owner warranty. And, young man, take grandma’s advice and work a touch on your grammar. You always want to be a professional and speak like a professional. I realize that young people often don’t pay attention in school to grammar but when you get out of school and start working, it becomes important. I want you to be successful. So work on losing “ain’t “ from your vocabulary. I wish you the very best!

What’s up with the stye in both eyes

What’s scary is that someone had to go and craft a checklist lol - if you are not interested and/or able to invest in yourself, to learn the basics and to then learn when you are in over your head, GOD help you….
