Those lessons are all ones that we learned, for the most part and some painfully, back from 2004- 2008.

Being a former submariner, life long martial artist, top secret security clearance, sharp shooter, hell I thought perfect fit.Woe and behold I get a Conditional letter of Offer.

Lots of other exclusions when water gets in your house, as I've learned painfully.

Then you are in a world of pain.

They're experiencing growing pains with all of the requests for new features, implementation, etc.  

Though i can see where @Patrick Reagan & @Weston Brown are coming from because i don't wanna appear intrusive either at such a painful point in someones life.

So I feel your pain and what I have decided to do is prove them wrong!!

All the usual growing pains.

The biggest pain is when you hardwire them make sure you think about furniture placement.

This will not only tell you how the current owner has been maintaining the property, but will also give you insight as to whether they are PITA (pain in the ***) tenants (for example, if they make lots of complaints about really silly stuff like "My landlord hasn't cleaned the exterior of my windows" or "My cabinets are dirty").You can definitely bring a realtor, PM, and/or contractor with you if you want.Good luck!
