Cash The Checks

Here are some things to look for before buying that house of your dreams that you would not normally think of looking for.

– If it’s near a high school or college campus visit the house during the day and night to see if students park in front of the house.

– Check in on a Friday / Saturday and see if your neighbors are party animals.

– Get a water hose and flood the front / side / back yards to see where water accumulates. Ideally there should not be puddles by the door or touching any walls.

– See how your neighbors tend to their yards. Your property value is dependent on theirs so it’s good to see if they care about how their property looks.
