you should look for any bootleg grounds. they will show up a good on a plug in tester. ungrounded outlets seem to be common up to the late 60's .
i have seen many house for sale that have bootleg grounds. this tricks the inspectors tester .
That’s typically where the neutral wire is hooked up to the ground terminal? This house is almost all 2-prong outlets, but I haven’t tested any of the few 3-prong outlets. It already has GFCI outlets in the kitchen and bathrooms, but I suppose I can physically inspect those to see if they’re grounded, plus check with a ground tester.
