Some people spend all day driving around a nice neighborhood, spotting for sale signs that belong to the house that they dream about owning; only to find out they are out of their budget. Other people will do some research and call a real estate agent, or go to a real estate website, and then venture out and view these houses in person just to be greeted by a major flaw that was not mentioned online.
