I finally got stuck in the middle of a seller hiding previous flood damage
Just listed a ranch style home that looked perfect on the surface. The seller casually mentioned the basement 'dried out fine' after a storm years ago, but never put it in writing. I had to figure out if I should dig deeper or let it slide to keep the deal moving. Asked for the repair records, and the seller got really defensive. Now I'm reminding myself that being upfront saves bigger headaches later, even if it's tough.

Ugh, this is why I get receipts for everything now. People love to skip the paper trail until you get that sticker shock later.

What happened that made you start doing that?

Learned that the hard way with a surprise gym fee last year. Now a paper trail is just automatic for me.
