What will a VA appraiser flag on a Cartersville house?

VA appraisers check for the same minimum property requirements everywhere, including a functioning roof, working systems, safe electrical and no exposed hazards, so a Cartersville house is evaluated the same way as anywhere else in the program. Peeling exterior paint on an older home, inadequate handrails and evidence of active water intrusion are common items that come up on inspection. These requirements exist to protect the buyer and the loan, not to penalize a specific area. Ask your agent to walk through common VA appraisal issues before you make an offer on an older home.
