will speak volumes about the work I will/will not be inheriting. • Bathrooms - Same as above • Electrical box - To me this is huge because I don't do electrical work and I would have to hire someone. Is it up-to date? And, does it reflect a bigger problem with outdated wiring? • Roof - I don't necessarily want to inherit a $20,000+ project in the next 3-5 years unless the price of the house makes sense amongst the comp set. • Pests - The unmentionables. See my MOVING videos on YouTube for my story. Inspect!!! • Plumbing - based upon the age of the home, this could be one of your most expensive surprises. Especially in Florida. Inspect!!! • Aesthetics - I have painted about 9 of the homes I have owned over the years. And I have had a few painted for me. Painting is easy ... it's cosmetic. KEEP EMOTIONS AT BAY When viewing a home initially, try not to get attached immediately. Keep emotions out of considerations and only consider the potential property as a building you need to inspect and assess for others. Rapid emotional attachment may cloud your decision-making, or allow you to overlook failings in the house you might see differently without an emotional lens. If you get attached from the get-go, you might make an emotional decision and overlook major problems. Certainly, an emotional attachment will affect your ability to calmly and dispassionately negotiate.
