Does water damage in a property automatically disqualify a home when looking to buy a new property?
Hello! Can someone tell me if water damage in a property should automatically disqualify a home when looking to buy a new property? I'm new to REI, so I'm not sure. Several properties I've seen online obviously have signs of water damage such as mold, water stains, on places where the ceiling has fallen in some or a lot. Would you still purchase a home with any of those conditions?
