Its quite obvious you havent sold any homes lately. Living with a
realtor, Im quite up on the subject. Most new homebuyers now hire a
home inspector for a home they are interested in. Some are incompetent
and some are very very thorough. Right down to ungrounded electrical
outlets and cracks in walls and foundations that you done even notice.
They also know ages and life spans of things like furnaces and air
conditioners, etc. There is a good reason for home inspectors and that
is because of people like you Logic. Guys like you that futz with all
your own chit and patch it together with chewing gum and duct tape.
When you sell you get to fill out discloseure forms. If they find out
you lie they can come back years later to sue your ass although anyone
can sue anyone for anything. Comparing a home sale to a car sale is
almost funny. You need a dose or reality logic.

with a bad sewer line, new owner had flood, from sewage backup...
