I would ensure (and discussed today) that we have a home inspection and a contractor come into the property prior to writing any offer.
The home inspector I use has the infrared/thermal camera. He can also detect mold, electrical issues, heating issues and a number of other things that we on CP could not pick up on by photos. The purpose of the inspector is to ensure that only renovations need to be done and not repairs.
The contractor comes in and gives a white and black picture on costs and if things are feasible.
All of these have been taken care of and the CP member is in good hands. ( that reminded me of home alone for some reason lol)
