Whether you like your coffee hot or iced, black or with cream, October 1st is a day to mark on your calendar. It's International Coffee Day! Coffee is said to have been discovered by goat herders in the 9th century. Then, it was popularized in the Middle East in the 15th century. Today, it's an important part of cultures worldwide — and that's certainly worth celebrating. Our real estate agents recommend celebrating at one of these Klamath Falls coffee shops.

You've likely seen the TV shows where house flippers strike it rich, buying old homes on the cheap, doing minimal repairs, and then turning around and selling the home at a profit. While these shows are entertaining, imagine if those renovations have been completed with cheap materials? If you're considering a flipped home from Klamath Falls homes for sale, you want to exercise caution.

But before you do, here's some advice on what to look for if you're considering buying a home that has been flipped.

Odds are that your house-hunting wish list includes the location, number of bedrooms, updated kitchen, and maybe a patio. But the condition of the garage may be an afterthought. After all, you'll just use the space to store your vehicles, right? The garage may just be a storage area, but you need to be on the lookout for hidden problems to make sure you're making the right home investment. Whether you're viewing Klamath homes for sale on video tours or in person, here's what you should look for in the garage.

During your showing or virtual tour, be sure to ask about the garage dimension. If you have larger SUVs, recreational equipment, bikes, or a trailer, knowing the size of the garage is essential. Find out the ceiling height and be on the lookout for beams that could provide extra storage for equipment and sporting goods.
