[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3211513, member: 44288"] Get the sellers to fork out homeowner's warranty, It only costs them a few bucks more but if the AC unit goes, you call the guys on the warranty and they replace it. Try to get a corner house if possible. With a fire hydrant in the yard or across the street if possible. Beware of houses built in the 60's to mid 70's. Aluminum wiring was used building entire houses during the rise in copper prices in that period. If your prospective house was built during that period, make sure the home inspector does his job checking for this. I've had two (drive by) inspections where they did not do their job but I found it. I could give you the name of a really good realtor. She really works hard for you. I will use her company over and over. [/QUOTE]
