So to have with me, Ben Everingham from pumped on property and this continues our series on inspecting a property, so if you haven\'t checked out the previous ones we did on questions to ask an agent as well as how to look at the surrounding street and area. Go to on property.com, forward slash inspect to see all the episodes that we\'ve done there. But in this one we\'re going to be looking specifically at the outside of the property and some of the things that you should look at. So one of the things that we\'re saying off camera beforehand is there\'s a lot of things here that we\'re going to touch on and being able to write these down and go through each of these. When you\'re inspecting a lot of properties,\\n\\nit\'s very easy to forget which property is which, which one had the good thing, which I had all of this sort of stuff. What was the condition of the roof? You can\'t remember.\\n\\nAnd so having a notepad, a piece of paper or having a checklist like this can really help with that. So we\'ll go through a bunch of things, grabbing notepads and pen and write them down and then yeah, it\'s going to allow you to look back and know,\\n\\nforget 100 percent. Like the reason these started was because when I used to go to make properties for myself, I had 10 properties. Sometimes he\'d take properties in a day in an area that I was looking at and by the end of the day I literally could not remember one property versus another. And so I built this checklist for myself just so that I could compare apples with apples really thoroughly when I walked away. And so that I could actually remember what I was looking at it properly yet. And so the first thing that we had to look at is how old is the house? How do you find this out? That\'s a tough one. Um, you can find it out an rp data, but that\'s a paid source. It\'s just sort of like a question to ask the agent really and take that with a grain of salt as well. Like they could tell you 30 years old, it could really be 50 or 60 or vice versa. Yeah. And everything that we\'re going to be talking about today as well. None of these are deal breakers. It\'s all just so you understand the property better, you understand its positives as well as this\\n\\nnegatives. And as Ben said, you can compare apples to apples. So the power in doing this is not just doing it for one property, but the power in it is doing it on multiple properties and then comparing them to each other as well. Well\\n\\nas comparing their locations and their price and all of that sort of stuff as well. When you think about it, like if you have one big day where you inspect 12 properties, that\'s cool. But what if you\'re in the market for six months befor...'
