My wife and I are wanting to buy a house. What are some things to look out for for first time buyers?

Hire a home inspector to look over the house before you buy it. They look for problems, test for radon gas, and tell you if its overall worth buying or not.

We are in eastern Kentucky. Not many here.

2nd on the list is meth

Water damage
Mold
If there's tampering with the fireplaces, particularly the floor of
Get a home inspector and make sure he thoroughly checks attic and roof
False walls or ceilings
Hollow tiles
Make sure all windows work
Check joist in basement or crawlspace
Get a good home inspector

That’s why we want to move

Good home inspection
Check the pipes (old galvanized steel pipes are basically paper machete after 20 years) PVC or copper ideally.
Check the electric 200 amp service
Check for any bullshit boomer DIY shit
Check basement for mold/water damage/ cellar walls for horizontal cracks/patch jobs hiding cracks
Check windows door jambs corners of ceiling for cracks/fresh calking to hide cracks - all signs of foundation damage - check the gutters see how they drain
Be mindful of property tax - you pay this forever
Check out the neighborhood don’t buy a mansion in the ghetto
Flush the toilets, run all the faucets, if cess pool ask when it was installed, ask about the pipes to the cesspool.
It you’re paranoid you can have a company run a camera through the server lines - required even for some mortgages
Check the attic for insulation/animal damage
Check the property for flood/insect infestation/ ask when property was/if it has been treated for termites
Check for termite damage on ant main beams you can see in basement

That’s the top of my head.

Imminent economic collapse and negative equity

t. home inspector

It sucks that you have to buy an expensive home these days just so you don’t have to live near trash.

I asked you before but haven't pulled the trigger emailing you yet. Would you be able to pre-approve me if I got a new job recently but I have 0 gaps pre covid? I'm the one who was looking for the 2.5-.75% rate.

Arent we about to collapse. If we just sort of collapse but not full on, wont that be the best and cheapest time to buy a house?

kek

No. Assets will inflate 10-20% until negative interest rates come in to stabilize national debts. The next disaster after that sort of collapse will trigger a currency speculation attack into a regional currency. Assets will be valued in the regional currency while the cash markets are left behind and destroyed. We are headed towards hyperinflation but it will not be the same as traditional hyperinflation because there will be a hedge for rich fucks to ascend into and the hyperinflated currency will remain in effect for servicing the now-worthless debts from the old system + to be awarded as UBI so poor fucks can buy bread and water.

Houses will never be affordable because they are one of the vehicles that will be used to protect the voter base and elites. So long as there is mass immigration, this is possible.

>paper machete
Not sure why machete would be there after 20 years or why he'd be paper but ok.

One of the houses we are looking at has been on Zillow for over a year. Without looking at it, what are some reasons why a house would set for that’s long?

Price too high. Send them a lowball offer.

I thought of that. Maybe the seller isn’t willing to budge?

Yikes. Racist much

things are worth what people are willing to pay for it
if it's been on the market for a year then it's not worth what they are asking
simple as

That's how it's always been, neighborhoods that aren't filled with garbage are always in high demand
