If you’re buying a home, how can you avoid getting saddled with big expenses?

First, always hire a home inspector to inspect the property before you buy it. No property is perfect, and a home inspector will check the home’s roof, plumbing, electrical system, foundation, etc., to see whether there are any issues in these areas.

Any issues in these areas represent the biggest expenses you’ll potentially have when buying a property, so you really need to pay attention to them and get quotes on them if issues are found. If you need to rewire the home’s electrical system, or its septic tank needs to be replaced, or you have to rip the entire roof off and install a new one, those tasks can be very expensive.
