Avoid buying during the end of year holiday season or agree with the GC prior to starting when it needs to be done by, I just didn’t like having the property sit idle for whole month of December.3.

@Kevin Wareham I should also add that I was unable to see the 3rd unit prior to inspection because the tenant is in poor health and wants to keep contact to a minimum.

I was running monthly meet-ups in the south shore prior to this pandemic and we are planning a zoom meeting next week, it may be beneficial if you're able to jump in on it.Another area you may want to consider would be Attleboro and North Attleboro.

The question I have in regards to the appraisal of the property is this: Is it common, or unheard of, for a buyer to get an independent appraisal of a property prior to submitting an offer?
