'New' home owner? Depending on the age of your home, it could have the old clay pipes as the main drainage to your area's drains. Eventually, tree roots will crack them and grow into. We've been here for twelve years, and in our community of 369 homes, we'll see a handful having them dug up every year. Our turn came last year. Fortunately, it happened the day after returning from a trip, so the dog/house sitter didn't have to experience the back up (and I caught it before there was a huge mess in the basement while doing laundry). $7800 later....
If we were to move, we'd mention that repair as a big selling point.
Home inspections: some miss the obvious, like overwired fuse boxes, or water line shut off valves right above a fuse box (a big no-no).
Don't be turned off by the colors in the house. We repainted all the rooms in our two homes we purchased but one. Look at reasonable potential.
Hell, I finally panelled our small basement three years ago. Being retired allowed me to remove the old shelving and closets and spruce it up at a decent daily pace. Part of the joy is making the home into 'yours'.
