Looking Under The Hood or Under The RoofHas anyone ever purchased a used car? You may know looks can be deceiving. To get a true picture of the quality of the product, you have to “look under the hood.” What does this have to do with shopping for a new house?When you find a property you like on the market, it’s easy to get all warm & fuzzy with its curb appeal and features. However, there may be issues you won’t notice, such as foundation cracks that need repair or the A/C that’s due for replacement.That’s why you need to “look under the hood/roof” by having a qualified home inspector review the property.
