I used to tour every house with my gut, now I bring a $15 outlet tester and a flashlight
When we started house hunting in Columbus last spring, I walked through places looking at paint and light and just went with my gut feeling. After we lost a bid on a place with a basement that smelled like mold, I changed how I do it. Now I bring an outlet tester, a flashlight, and a little notepad, and I check every room for water stains, bad wiring, and soft spots in the floor. The gut feeling still matters but the tester caught a dead outlet in a kitchen that the seller's listing photos made look perfect. What do you all check on a walkthrough that most people skip?
