Purchasing a home is one of the largest investments you will make in your lifetime. To protect that investment, many states require home sellers to disclose certain types of information to prospective buyers.

Here are some of the identified flaws that should be immediately addressed. If workable, ask the seller to fix the issues identified in the disclosures or ho... 10/07/2013
