Subsequently, my husband and I decided that investing may be something that we would start to investigate and had told him so, but also that we are due diligence people and don't just jump out and make decisions with tens of thousands of dollars on the line. 3 days later we got that text.

We are currently investigating this plan, but I'd like to hear what some of your are doing out there.

I would investigate, but be careful with accusations.

I have done some investigation of the city and it is very important to know your neighborhood. 

After that fire the property was extensively rehabbed, including new roof, new plumbing, complete rewiring including service line. insurance rates were not affected and policy was renewed.In April 2020 there was another fire (in the attic at eave) that was determined by investigating electrical engineers from Ins Co to be caused by an over-tight wire staple from the 2017 rehab.

If I go through the city and get a proper one, I'm told that they may not give it on a smaller lot like mine (I will investigate) and also I may be opening a can of worms since the GH was built here decades ago.

Have you investigated the ability to withdraw from a trad IRA without the 10% penalty due to the CARES act? 

Thanks for the reply Justin.I'm going to see the property tomorrow and will investigate the true age of the HVAC units as well as all other major components. 

If you can’t find the plans or information most designers can figure things out by investigating the structure to analyze what you are looking for.

It also allows you to investigate and find a property manager before leaving.
