The Hernando County Florida housing market is chock full of bank owned foreclosed properties. The first thing you must accomplish when thinking about a foreclosure is to have it inspected by a licensed home inspector. Be certain that the property is available for inspection with live utilities or you will create yourself a major problem for yourself.

The foremost thing that I strongly suggest to buyers in all instances is not to have an inspector go to the foreclosure when the all the power is off, the gas has been turned off, and the water has been turned off.

That's because there's just no precise method to properly inspect the unit to see if something is broken without the utilities being available.

It is vital to have all utilities turned on because that's when you may begin seeing items that need repair such as water and gas leaks and electrical problems.

You could see problems with the heater or the water heater, ovens or cook tops that use electric or natural gas.

So inspect with live utilities and, with inspections, insist upon it from the bank and your real estate agent.
