About this calculator
Walking away from a home purchase after the inspection is one of the hardest calls a buyer can make. This checker turns the decision into a defensible, objective score: foundation, water, mold, electrical, roof, plumbing, HVAC, disclosure, title — all weighted by how often each predicts post-close regret in real Buyer's Leverage reports.
