Serious buyers act fast when they can verify the five big‑ticket systems up front. On Investorlift, lead with the facts buyers care about - years, sizes, materials, service history, and clear photos - so they can underwrite confidently and cut back‑and‑forth.

🎯 Why this matters: Clear, verifiable details = fewer questions, faster decisions, stronger offers.
 

A) What great listings include (keep it concise and factual)

  • Roof: installation year, material, number of layers, leak status, attic condition

  • HVAC: system type (e.g., gas furnace + split A/C), tonnage/BTU, year, last service

  • Foundation/Structure: slab/crawl/basement, any cracks or prior repairs, drainage/gutters/downspouts

  • Electrical: service amperage (e.g., 200A), panel type/brand, GFCI/AFCI in wet areas, recent work

  • Plumbing: supply & drain materials (PEX/Copper vs. galvanized/cast‑iron), water‑heater size/year, sewer line info
     

Be specific: give years, sizes/ratings, and observed conditions. If something is unknown, say “unknown” - buyers prefer honesty over guesses.


B) Make it skimmable on Investorlift

  • Place the five items near the top of your description so they’re visible in the property preview.

  • Upload clear, labeled photos tied to each item (see shot list).

  • If you have proof (receipts, service tickets, inspection notes), attach it and reference it briefly in the description.

  • As new info arrives, update the description so the property page and email blast stay accurate.


C) Photo shot list that answers 80% of questions

  • Roof: front & rear slopes, close‑ups at flashing/chimneys; attic if safe

  • HVAC: condenser, furnace/air handler, data plates (model/serial)

  • Foundation: wide shots of exterior walls; any cracks with a coin/tape for scale; crawl/basement moisture areas

  • Electrical: panel exterior and interior (labels legible), sample GFCI outlet in kitchen or bath

  • Plumbing: under‑sink supply/drain, water‑heater data plate, exterior cleanout


D) Proof that builds trust (share if you have it)

  • Recent invoices/receipts (roof tune‑up, HVAC service, panel upgrade, plumbing fixes)

  • Inspection notes (even brief) that mention specific items corrected or monitored

  • Permit screenshots or numbers for major upgrades


E) Avoid these common pitfalls

  • ❌ Saying “newer” without the year

  • ❌ Skipping panel or attic photos

  • ❌ Ignoring drainage (buyers assume foundation risk if it’s not addressed)

  • ❌ Over‑promising (“no issues”) without any proof


F) Small add that improves conversions

  • Mention water management: grading, gutters, and downspout extensions. One sentence plus a photo reduces foundation‑risk concerns.
