How much does that home really cost?
Here are some things to keep in mind when trying to determine the true cost of purchasing a particular home:
• Does it have a pool that requires maintenance?
• How much yard maintenance is required?
• Are there trees that should be removed?
• What are the utility costs? Your usage won’t be the same as the current owners, but you may be able to get the past years utility bills from the utility company.
• How soon will the roof need to be replaced?
• Does the house need repainting?
• Does the electrical system need upgrading to handle the load of electronic improvements?
• Does the house need new carpeting/flooring?
• What remodeling projects do you see as a must?
• Will appliances need replacing? What items convey?
• What are the estimated property taxes for the property?
Also, be sure to get a professional inspection to identify other potentially costly problem areas.
