IS YOUR HOUSE TRYING TO KILL YOU?

So many people after investing in real estate, end up asking themselves one question: "What Kind of house did I invest in?" that is definitely a question of regret. Nobody wants to invest in real estate and then starts spending even more money to renovate it year in year out.

There is no doubt that buying a house is one of the best investments on earth. But it can also be the worst if you don't invest in the right house.
Here are some things you need to check before investing in that house:

1) How Old is the House? This is one important question you need to ask your realtor. The older the house the more problems it is likely to have and the more renovating you would need to do. Make sure the house you are investing in is not too old or better still, go for a newly built house where you need little or no renovation until after 10 to 20 years.

2) Exterior Cracks and Tilts: Check out for little cracks on the walls, because little cracks leads to big cracks and big cracks leads to the collapse of the building. And you don't want your house falling on you while you are asleep.

3) Water Damage/Plumbing: This is one major problem that many houses in urban areas have. Look out for molds and discoloration on the walls. These are signs of poor plumbing and that means you have a lot of renovating to do.

4) Roofing: Before stepping inside make sure you know whats happening above you. ensure that the roof is well done in order to avoid investing in a house that will be flooded during the rainy season due to leakage.

5) Have a Proper Inspection: All problems listed above can be avoided if a proper inspection of the house is done before investing in it. Always insist on inspection before buying that property, if your realtor is avoiding inspection then they have something to hide.

6) Land and Building Documents: With the high rate of fraud going on in real estate, Make sure you are provided with the documents of the house to be sure it's the owners that are actually selling the property to you. You don't want to buy a house only to find out you paid to the wrong person and the house is not yours. Do your findings and check all papers properly.

Finally to avoid most problems ensure that you do your findings from a genuine real estate firm.
