When you buy a property, you take on mortgage payments, insurance, and taxes before you can fully inspect the house, control repairs, or even move in. This gap between responsibility and control is the real risk in real estate deals, not seller dishonesty.
The risk does not come mainly from bad intentions. It comes from structure. Control shows up in ordinary things that may not feel important until the buyer no longer controls them. Access, inspection, repairs, move-in timing, contractor scheduling, and the condition of the property during this occupancy, period. At the same time, the buyer may already be responsible for the mortgage, insurance, taxes, and risk of loss. That imbalance is real. The buyer has the burden of ownership before having full benefit of control.
