Fortunately, it never rains in Kansas...so it wouldn't be a problem.

Lack of and or inadequate flashing.

The concrete porch is poured against the Tyvek.

The front gets stucco there for the 2nd layer of moisture barrier needs to be installed behind all the trim and in a ship lap fashion.

The oval window has no backer rod and sealant joit between the trim and the window.

The way the columns are built with the wood going down into the concrete instead of a shelf/shoulder being built up 6-8" when the porch was poured so the sheathing and the stucco would have proper clearance from the porch, 2" on the solid surface.
Along with the wall where the porch touches the house.

Carl in my opinion it would be better to just tear the entire house down now instead of waiting a couple years when it begins to fall down from rot which will be present in so many locations I would not want to even start noting them here on this MB.

If this was a paid inspection I was doing of these home(s) I would tell my clients if major repairs were not made before the stucco was applied to rip the buyers agreement up right in front of the job superintendent--- and throw the pieces at him.

That is a disgrace to the building profession, the whole kit and caboodle---
