Since nothing happened; only a near miss, offer to have someone review the home for other safety items....plus if that person takes pictures of their inspection, you will have a better idea of what's going on and proof of the whole situation for the future or move out.

Do something everyday that gets you one step closer to achieving your goal.

Nothing beats a good title company comparison, but this seems to be pretty close. being able to use the app out in the field and pulling up a map view of what has sold in that area that matches what you are doing...well that is basically the definition of "pulling comps".In the end, before you lock in any numbers and contracts, you always want to have the home inspected and valued by a professional, but Homesnap is a great starting point before you start going after a deal, to make sure it actually IS a deal.Hope that helps and is not a 4 month late, already answered question. haha
