How to check for a house for sale?

[Allan Palomares]

First time buying a used house. I'm thinking maybe buying in auction but I don't know how to fix a house or where to get handyman to fix it. So I am a bit scared. What are the things I need to check when buying a property say a condo, apartment, house.   I have a full time job that pays good enough so I cannot spend my time fixing a house and it is not my area of expertise.  So please help me with this one I am an absolute newbie.
