charles88+Follownever skip a home inspection A family bought their first home and decided to save money by skipping the inspection. Everything looked fine during the tour. Fresh paint, new flooring, shiny appliances. Six months later, the basement flooded during a heavy rain. Turns out the foundation had cracks that were just covered up. The repairs cost nearly $20,000—way more than the inspection ever would have. #House #HomeownerTips #HousingCosts10Share
lanepaige+Followhoa raises fees, lowers services Residents were just notified that HOA fees will increase by 20% next year. At the exact same time, services are being cut—pool hours reduced, trash pickup less frequent, and neighborhood security patrols eliminated. Paying more while getting less. Hard not to wonder who actually benefits from these changes. #House #HOA #HousingCosts00Share

Everything looked perfect: fresh paint, new flooring, shiny appliances. Six months later, the basement flooded during a heavy rain. The foundation had cracks that were hidden. The repairs cost almost $20,000—far more than the inspection would have cost. #House #HomeownerTips #HousingCosts00Share
