Say you said that you bought a house last week.

What did you buy it with? Was it money? What money? What currency? US dollars or maybe Euros. What if it was something else? It could be equity in a company or something else.

Who did you buy this house from? Was it from the owner, or was it from the police department, or maybe it was from an ex convict?

That's why it is crucial to ask a lot of question, and get all the details.
