Bring your moisture meter for dry rot and outlet wiring tool (about $5 at Home Depot) to check proper wiring.

Use mositure meter around windows and kitchen bath floor / tub / shower.  Look at windows for blown seals.  Rock toilet with your knees (straddle it an move it side to side) to look for soft flooring.  Look in attic for mold and if ALL vents are hooked to outside roof vents.  Look around top edge of wall for moisture staining.  Look at plumbing to gauge what it is (PVC, CPVC, Galvanized, Copper).  Note age of water heater (15 years is normal life).
