Buying your first property will be stressful so plan for it. When flipping real estate the first thing I do is make a full physical inspection of the real estate and question the seller about why...they are interested in selling.
This is the routine. Ask questions, listen to the answers and keep your mouth shut except to ask more questions.
_____________________________________________
Around 70% of the time people will lie to you so just take your time while you are looking at their house and keep asking more questions.
It is a good idea to pretend that you are a Very Smart Attorney and NEVER ask a question that you Do Not already know the answer to. You will soon understand what I’m telling you about people being deceitful.
Every thing you see that is damaged, broken or in disrepair ask about it. Make it a point to look at the top of the walls and the ceiling in every room. When you flip real estate mistakes can be costly...
This is where stress cracks how-up. Most buyers spend all there time looking at the floors and never see the trouble areas.
To build your confidence, have your friendly Realtor Buyers/Agent show you through several vacant houses. Pretend that the Agent is the seller and grill her on everything you can think of.

• Electrical Check For: GFI receptacles (Ground Fault Interrupt) in bathrooms, kitchens, and out side receptacles, missing or broken switch or receptacle covers, covers on all junction boxes.
• When Buying Older Homes Check For:
• Radon: A naturally occurring gas that has been identified as the second leading cause of lung cancer. It usually enters the home through cracks in the foundation.
• Lead Pipes: Lead also was present in much of the solder used to join copper pipes as recently as the mid-1980s.
• Lead-Based Paint: Any house built prior to1978, may have lead based paint. Lead based paint must be disclosed, however if you are buying from an owner they may not be aware of the law.
• Asbestos: This hazard was most commonly used to insulate attics, furnaces and boilers, as well as hot water pipes. It also was commonly used in floor tiles, fiber siding, and in roofing material.
Remodelers will not touch asbestos without a permit. Anytime you see a white cloth covering ductwork, you've got to assume that that's asbestos, and you need to bring in a licensed professional to remove it.
• Grounded Outlets: Electrical wiring in older homes differs from modern wiring in several respects. The electrical boxes were typically 60 or 100 amps. Today's standard is 200 amps. Wiring was not grounded.
• Oil Tanks: This was a common heating fuel for many older homes. Most states require contractors to obtain a special environmental permit before removing buried heating oil tanks. Samples must be taken from the soil around the tank to assess contamination.
• Wells, Cesspools and Septic Tanks: Many vintage properties converted to public sewer systems, leaving unused wells, cesspools and septic tanks on the property. When a remodeling contractor unearths one of these surprises, the solutions vary, from draining the contents to filling it in some manner. If building is planned over the area, an old septic tank may have to be removed.
** NOTE** Home inspectors have a clause in their contracts called concealed conditions. While it is possible to inspect the inside, outside and even crawl in the attic and underneath the house, they do not have X-ray vision and will exclude liability for concealed problems.
