Are there red flags that buyers should be looking for prior to engaging, prior to making an offer? Oh, sure.
Well, I think the main one is give the house a good look. If there's any moisture in the basement, that's something that needs to be further evaluated. If there's grading, gutter issues, sloping issues around the home, that's something that's going to affect the foundation.
