(Epic Mistakes) When Buying a House… 

In Canada it is very rare to see damage done by former owners... rentals some but never on the level I have seen in the US...

Look, you're the expert, but I had a property in the PNW (lava rock and thin layer of sand) where I used a tank and drainfield for 25 years I built with Dad with no trouble at all- no draining- and when inspected for sale, the bar (thing thrust into the tank) went straight to the bottom. Upshot: Properly maintained a septic tank- drainfield (concrete tank) will last indefinitely. This is my experience. Maybe in Louisiana the plants invade the leach field? Maybe too much clay? I don't know.

Thank you so much for all the education. I'm a 51 year old single mom looking to buy my first home this year. Been a single mom of a special needs needs child (and now adult) for 24 years. Just now financially getting there to buy. All this scares me but being educated makes me feel better.

I just found your RU-vid channel today. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge . So much of what you have said were the same mistakes we made many years ago. I don’t know that we will ever make a move, but you have certainly opened my eyes on so many things that have to be considered early on to save yourself money and lots of headaches. Thanks again, from Texarkana , Tx.

Thanks. I just bought a house in Rome Ga and told my business partner to watch your video.....We gotta fix is and have done this before.....but you are the best!!!!!

Great info brother!!

I'm looking at foreclosures now. Thank you 😃❤

Wayne, I just stumbled upon your channel today….I can guarantee your gonna blowup with subscribers😍! Mark my word😉😉😉😉

Okay, looks like we're working here. Love your videos. Been watching you for a while, but I wanted to tell you about REO that I looked at back in the '90s. Every square inch of the house was painted in gloss black. Every toilet and plumbing was filled to the top with quick set concrete with at least 50 empty bags laying around. It was on a slab concrete all the way up to the city sewer. I know what you're talking about

Great video I'm looking in California

Thank you very much Mr. Turner for taking the time to share this great content with us!! I love your content and please continue making them!!

Should always have a crawl rather than slab?

Wayne, you bring up a very important flag about the sheet rock made in China. I had a friend now passed because of this, ended up in court, for almost 10 years before it was settled the builder had all the money and drain the homeowner of his money in Woodland Texas. They had to remove all the sheet rock from the house and it destroyed all the copper plumbing, and believe go look up the attic yourself and looking on the backside of the sheet rock you should be surprised how much it’s still lingering in houses today. note their house was built in 2010 with this type of sheet rock.

These videos are great, but the down side of buying anything, it's like you have to pay an expert to cover all this. The videos could fill an encyclopedia of information. I mean you could get a bachelor's degree in just buying a house to live in. I just want a dark sky I can put an observatory on and I can put antennas on. You can't rent a place like that, so I've been looking at buying one but I can't even afford all this stuff.

Very good info. Thank you!

My husband and I bought a old brick home, it was being flipped and man the dumb stuff they did.. and whoever had it before them! We ended up a month into moving with a foot of water in the basement. Come to find out.. at some point in the life and various owners of the house.. someone had piped the rain gutters into the sewer line. So ... any heavy rain .. back flooded into the basement. 11 grand to replace and fix all the pipes...

8:20 steps on nail, removes it, tosses it for the next person to step on.

Great video thank you 👍

With all the advice you give nothing you can say provides me with any peace of mind buying real estate. Ive watched a lot of your videos. How can a person have any assurance of keeping their home when they have no control over insurance and property taxes. A person has no chance if the government doesnt except a property tax appeal. It costs at lest $500 to have an appraisal and is the only way to win a property tax appeal. Interest rates are high. Now is bad time to buy. How can I make sure insurance rates and property tax dont price me out of my home? The only thing I can do is wait till the overinflated price bubble bursts. With all the things that go wrong, it makes more sense to rent. Even if I have to pay twice the rent its still better than being foreclosed on and loosing your investment. If you can help me with a some kind of way that I can keep my home without being priced out after I buy it I will give you a percentage of the house price.

How can u contact you ? We are in Sn Antonio Tx, how can we access the forclouse homes 😊

Right on

What about foreclosure commercial properties

I thought you couldn’t inspect foreclosures until after it’s sold.

Just because someone is licensed, doesn't mean there honest!

Wow! Why would they block me from responding to a real estate guy? This is weird

Test test test

Hi Wayne. Now you really stared scare me. Concrete in the plumbing is too much. Things that I just could imagine here in Brazil. Shame on them.

You must be rich or have enough to invest in real estate. Real estate is high risk investment. Most people dont have the ability to buy like you do. Most of us have to get bank money to buy and get title. We then dont actually own anything except what equity we have, and you loose that if you get foreclosed on. The rich man always wins. Most people loose out if they dont have money, because they get priced out and get foreclosed on because of insurance increase and over assessed valuation. This is a country of criminals screwing people. There is no dream. Unless we can lock in insurance rates and property tax rates were screwed. And property tax should be illegal. Once I buy something thats as expensive as real estate, why should I keep paying for it? Nobody here seems to understand that. They just fall like lemme's going off a cliff because there mindlessly following the person in front. So what actual advice can you give on how to buy and not get screwed? A lot of people here are in for a big surprise when they find they can no loger afford to stay in their home. This is all a sign of a coming great depression.

I have a question generally when purchasing a home do you only purchase homes with the land included😊
