However, when they bring in a home inspector to assess the property, they discover that the house has some serious electrical issues. The wiring is outdated and would need to be completely redone, which would be a major expense. The couple is taken aback by this news, but they don't give up on the home yet.

They decide to bring in an electrician to get a better idea of the cost to fix the electrical issues. The expense of the repairs is higher than they anticipated, but they still feel strongly about the home.
