If you’re relocating to Southeast Tennessee and doing most of your house hunting online, this is a video you cannot afford to skip.

I’m Chris Roberts, and I help people from all over the country move to Chattanooga and Cleveland. Over the years, I’ve seen deals fall apart and buyers regret purchases because of problems they never saw coming.

In this video, I walk you through five types of houses I consistently warn my out-of-state clients to avoid, especially when buying remotely.

These homes often look great online…
but can turn into nightmares after closing.


The 5 Types of Homes to Avoid

Poorly Done Flips
Fresh paint and new floors don’t mean a solid house. I show you how to spot:
• Soft subfloors
• Hidden foundation settlement
• Outdated or dangerous wiring (including knob-and-tube)
• Cosmetic upgrades hiding expensive structural issues

If the math doesn’t add up, something was skipped.

Homes With Shared Driveways
They sound harmless until disputes begin.
• Shared maintenance
• Shared responsibility
• Future resale issues

Unless there’s a rock-solid legal agreement and a big price discount, this is usually a hard pass.

Homes With “Quick-Fix” Structural Repairs
Stacked piers on dirt. Adjustable jack posts doing nothing. Self-leveling concrete poured over dirt.

If you see signs of foundation work, you should see permits and receipts. Anything else is fighting gravity — and gravity always wins.

Over-Customized “One-Owner Dream Homes”
Custom wine cellars, oversized theaters, car lifts impressive, but:
• Smaller buyer pool
• Lower resale flexibility
• Often money you won’t get back

The best resale homes let buyers imagine their life —not inherit someone else’s dream.



Unpermitted Additions & Major Projects
This is one of the biggest risks buyers overlook.
• Safety concerns
• Financing problems
• Insurance exclusions
• Major resale headaches

If it’s not on county records, proceed carefully or walk away.

Why This Matters

I even share the story of a burned-down house I personally bought and rebuilt and why, despite loving the result, I would never repeat certain types of projects again.

The goal isn’t to scare you.
It’s to help you buy with eyes wide open, confidence, and clarity.
