Listen "46. Don't Buy That House"
Episode Synopsis
Worried about buying a money pit or a house that’s unrepairable? In today’s podcast we discuss how to determine if an issue is cosmetic, structural, or an incurable defect. Surprisingly, sometimes our best advice is to talk our clients out of buying a house. What homes or issues do we try to talk our clients out of purchasing? Well, it often depends. What are incurable defects in a home? Incurable defects are absolute deal breakers such as backing up to a freeway, a busy road, a school, or high-tension power lines, etc. We help our buyers see as clearly as possible and that they are aware of the risks. To this end, we recommend home inspections and sometimes more consideration. Listen as we discuss properties we’d never buy at any price and don’t think you should either.
