What's it going to be like to live here?

We have a condo on Airbnb in Kauai. It’s right on the ocean with a spectacular 280° ocean view that is jaw-dropping!
One of our renters called me and was complaining about one cracked tile and the toilet seat that was loose. As she was ranting at how awful this was, I thought, “wow it’s kind of like the old adage ‘can’t see the forest for the trees’ “. She couldn’t appreciate the amazing ocean view (in fact she hadn’t even opened the curtains to look at it!) because she was focused on tiny little imperfections.
So, when you’re looking at homes, try to look past small things that are wrong and look at the big picture, the big view, the future view; what’s it going to be like to live here? What’s the neighborhood like? Is it a good area? Will it suit my family? Etc.
Don’t focus on the negatives; always look for the positives.
Put on your rose-colored glasses and see how it looks through those.
