Buying a Property with a Problem

If you buy a problem property, then be prepared to have problems when you're ready to sell. Make sure you're away of any problems before you buy. For example, if your condominium is located across from a noisy hallway or air shaft, or above a garage door, or has a depressing view, these are problems that may turn away prospective buyers in the future.
