Buying a property where a suicide occurred
Hi BP,
I've found myself working on a deal where some new (and tragic) information has come to light. Long story short, I'm working with a seller to purchase his triplex and he just let me know that a few weeks ago one of his tenants committed suicide in the unit. The tenant also lived in the unit with multiple roommates, who are still living in the property. Has anyone dealt with a situation like this? The numbers on the deal make a lot of sense... but I don't quite know what I would be getting into here, in terms of legally required disclosures when selling, issues with renting the unit, or anything else. Any input/advice/things to look out for would be helpful!
Not sure if it matters, but the property is located in NH (New Hampshire).
