After years in real estate and more transactions than I can remember, I've identified four types of homes that are absolute deal-breakers — no matter how charming or well-priced they might be. Learn what these homes are before you make a $100,000+ mistake.
What You'll Learn:
– Why structural issues can cost hundreds of thousands
– Location factors most buyers overlook
– The hidden dangers of DIY renovations
– Legal complications that can ruin your investment
– Environmental risks that insurance won't cover
– How to spot these issues before it's too late
– Why some "charming" features are major red flags
Using real examples, including a $90,000 foundation repair and a farm that's closing due to water rights issues, I show you exactly what to watch out for when house hunting.
Perfect for:
– Active house hunters
– First-time homebuyers
– Anyone considering historic homes
– Buyers attracted to "charming" properties
– DIY enthusiasts evaluating fixer-uppers
