we want to take the leap. so it’s not that. it’s just making sure it’s “right” since buying a house isn’t something you do all the time lol so like are we buying something we’re gonna get surprised screwed on later, how much % to put down etc

When you tour it, look for things that look unnatural and discretely look closer. E.g. A rug on top of wall-to-wall carpeting is probably covering up damage of some kind.

Oh also, your agent and bank have done this a thousand times over so might say things that don't make any sense because they are too familiar and are taking certain things as a given. They are on your side though and will be happy to answer questions. They want the deal to happen too 🙂

Right but sometimes they want the deal to happen regardless of what happens to you. - try to educate yourself on the lingo. Folks will speak fast, you need to know if they are bullshitting you. - take a friend who's been through the process. Ideally a contractor friend who will go with you for a beer
