Good morning, when I began my house search, what is the main thing to look for during first walk through?

I would look for the larger ticket items:  Roof, Foundation, Structural damage, water leaks, Signs of termite damage, mold, electrical systems, plumbing, etc.  As always, have a trusted general contractor take a walk through with you if you are just getting started or need confirmation on what needs to be done on a rehab and its budget.
