3. Is it necessary?
Let’s analyze the analogy with an automobile:
• Bought a New Car: the manufacturer provides a warranty of between 5 and 10
years.
• Bought a Used Car: you inspect it, test, analyze and even took it to a workshop
of your trust.
• Rent a Car: companies force us to leave deposit and credit card or hire a full
insurance, plus a visual inspection is performed, marking the damages on a
sketch signed by both sides.
• Own a car: perform periodic checks, oil changes, filters, timing belts ......
Sowhy not do it with a property which value is 20, 30,
40 ..... times higher?
