This health issue ultimately led to a close family member passing and now I don't believe they have any family living in our area anymore.2.

Health professionals are generally looking for 1-2 bedrooms and even travelers in other professions look for that size unit.

The owner, a family member of one of our buyers, inherited the property through probate, but they weren’t equipped to handle the renovation.The house had been left in disrepair for quite some time, with the previous owner struggling with mental health issues.

However, in emergencies or cases involving health and safety, we would attempt to contact the owner first and, if unsuccessful, proceed with the repair as outlined in the contract.Regarding the hot water heater, do you know if it genuinely needed to be replaced?

Quote from @Azita Nejaddehghan: Young adult, working in health care, living in Virginia (just outside of DC).

@Sofia De Santos Tavarez if you haven't already, have the property professionally inspected.This should catch MOST of the structural, health & code issues - but not all.

Here is text from sb13 “the violation is not necessary to protect health and safety, as determined by the enforcement agency, subject to specified requirements.” 

To give you an idea of how we approach it, we assume the worst-case scenario right from the start is 9-12 months of no rent, $5,000 in legal fees, and an additional $5,000 in expenses to deal with moving their stuff, putting it in storage, and dealing with health code violations or NOV's from the city during the process. 

They have no ****ing idea.Your $500k salary likely has a 401k, health, vision, dental, etc.

For the personal side of things, I do a GoBundance Onesheet, which breaks my life up into Financial, Health, Relationships, Friends, Adventure, and Spiritual/Contribution.Happy to share either document with you if that would help Tonio!
