it's really difficult to tell you every single thing that i look at. i have lots of experience so i can just make offers based on the listing pictures. even if it's just a single picture of the front of the house. that's cause i buy similar houses and know about how much it would cost. but i have a lot of experience, so nothing phases us.in addition, when you have a checklist, the agent will know you are not experienced and will question your ability to close. big things are - kitchen, bath, electrical, roof, concrete.the rest is child's play.good luck.
