You never know what people are going to neglect to mention when you first discuss something with them.
This was actually something the people I was with and I have dealt with as parents of more than two hard children. It seems like all of our kids provide us half truth rather than being completely transparent & forthcoming with their details. This has been a challenge all throughout raising them. As adults, they continue to try our last nerve with their exclusion of pressing information. This was actually the case when our oldest child asked us to cosign on a home for him, only for us to discover that the home was in need of immediate repairs. Apparently, our child had no plan that your home needs to have the indoor air temperature control, then when he looked at the home he never bothered to ask the realtor about any form of air quality control, such as the furnace or cooling system system. As a result, the Heating & A/C plan was over 15 years seasoned & appeared as though it had never been professionally worked on in that entire time. When the people I was with and I took a look at the furnace it was a block of rust. The cooling system plan didn’t look much better, but unblessedly, the more the people I was with and I looked around the more trouble the people I was with and I found. The ductwork was in exhausting condition & even the control equipment was disintegrating before our undoubtedly eyes. The final straw was realizing that there was no insulation contained in the attic. My child wanted us to co-sign on this home for him, however he could not even afford the Heating & A/C updates let alone the entire structure.
