Buying a househack now-> What should I keep in mind?
My wife and I found a duplex we love just over the Maryland border in Shrewsbury, PA. Our real estate agent did a video walkthrough for us of the units (one vacant and one occupied -- don't worry, for the occupied she handed her phone to the tenant for them to do the walkthrough).
We're gonna work with our agent to answer the following concerns, but I wanted to see what you all recommended as well:
1) We drove past the house and looked at it from the outside, but my wife is uncomfortable purchasing a house for us to live in where we haven't seen the inside, even if it's just the vacant unit. Given current restrictions, have you been able to view vacant units?
2) We'd like to sell our current condo, but with two kids it requires a deep clean and a good paining. Are cleaners and painters still in business?
3) What other considerations should I keep in mind through this process during the stay-at-home orders? I know things are going a bit slower, but other than that what else should I think about?
