A house can look perfect on a showing and still hide an expensive problem. In this video, Walter walks you through 7 warning signs to look for before you buy: foundation cracks, signs of water in the basement, fresh paint in just one spot, old or DIY electrical work, ceiling and attic stains, bad grading and downspouts, and a kitchen that looks too perfect. For each one: what you see, what it may mean, what it doesn't prove, and what to ask before you sign. Chapters: 0:00 A house that feels right 0:45 The one habit that makes this easier 1:09 1.
