They buy a bad house because they didn’t know where to look first… and they got emotionally attached too early. In this video, I’m walking you through my 60-Second House Scan — the exact order I use here in Ottawa to quickly tell whether a property is a smart buy… or a financial trap waiting to happen. Bad houses don’t hide. They whisper. And most buyers miss it because they’re focused on backsplash, staging, and shiny faucets. This is not a replacement for a home inspection. This is how you avoid wasting your time — and avoid falling in love with a problem. What You’ll Learn: The exact 60-second scan order to spot a bad house. Red flags during the street and neighborhood scan. Exterior red flags like tired roofs, ice damning, and foundation cracks. Interior clues, including odors, floor sloping, and signs of cheap renovations. The three Ottawa silent killers that cost serious money.
