What do I really need to worry about at home inspection?
We had our home inspection and a lot of things came up, like 38 things that were wrong. We read the list and think most of them are small, like a window latch that doesn't totally work. The big structure things came back ok, but the air conditioner has problems. 38 seems like a lot of problems though. We don't want to buy a money pit, but also don't want to lose the house. So should we go forward? What should we look out for?

Should I buy a house on a busy road?
I have been having trouble finding a home I like and I am ready to own. I finally found one that is in the right area and I really like the layout and look of but it is on a busy road. My parents keep telling me that I might not like that once I have kids and it might be hard to resell. Is that a deal breaker for a lot of buyers?
Should I buy a home now or wait for interest rates to drop?
