It’s exciting to buy a home, but don’t fall in love with that beautiful yard or open concept just yet. There are signs you need to look for that will tell you if you’re looking at a gem or a dud.

There are a lot of red flags that let you know that caution should be used. Some will even tell you to run. But what are these red flags and should they deter you from buying?
