DC to Boston has flights every hour out of 3 different airports for pretty cheap, so I was able to get there fairly easily, but I didnt have to go there unexpectedly about twice a year to deal with crap.

My life is too short for that crap.

There are people with absolutely no life whatsoever so they tend to "troll" the site posting crap, ahem, numerous worthless and harassing posts.

After buying the property and viewing it I quickly realized why noone had rented either of the vacant units: both units had what looked to be mouse crap on the floor and the other unit had a broken window (not cracked - a literal hole in the glass) and there was a hole punched in the drywall (covered using cardboard). 

If it turns to crap, at least you will have learned some valuable lessons.I’m in a similar situation but I’m looking at lower price ranges, and I am terrified but I’ve doing all the due diligence I possibly can.Good luck to you!

It's crap.

Usually for these sellers it means nothing and that they did the cheapest crap possible with some carpet replacement, paint, and new knobs and maybe some fixtures if your lucky.I could care less about such items.

Holy Crap @Costin I.!  

I'd rather let this place go vacant for a month than to put up with one more month of your crap". 

Otherwise at best you offend the crap out of her, at worst you give the old lady a heart attack.
