When mentioning you type the @ symbol followed by the first few letters of the person you want to mention (just like you would normally do).

Four comparable homes within a 5-block radius have sold for an average price per square foot (I was a local appraiser here for 6 years) that would indicate a sales price between $87,755 and $89,863.

there are so many 2 family homes with all kinds of configurations there. the best you will be able to do is try and match the rest of the house, square foot, number of baths etc. you may be able to get away with a 6 bedroom house as a comp, 3 and 3. i know i am having the same trouble with a house i own in PA, its under contract but when they came back there was no exact comps to mine, we are in the process of fighting what the appraiser came up with right now, they came up with $38,000 under my list, but i know i priced it right based on price per square foot and whats in it, 2 family with 3 and and 1 bath each. try averaging what a 2 family sells for per square foot, that should give you an idea. then sell it to me for 100,000 less - just kidding, but you can let me know if you do decide to sell, I'm in the town next door.

or is it perfectly normal and safe?

You may have transfer taxes and they can tell you "normal" costs on both sides.

If so, you might be able to create a better culture than what would normally be found at such a complex.You should follow the previously mentioned advice about the 30 year loans.  

I live in Cranford, NJ, which people don't normally up and move from.  

Plus, I'm tired of the normal 9-5 job.

It just doesn't seem right because if an offer was made and accepted I feel that both parties are committed or am I just a newbie and these things are normal in which offers which are accepted can be rescinded if needed without issue.Thanks in advance for the advice!

Too much soap is normally the culprit but not cleaning off all the food before putting the dishes in will cause the drain to become blocked and bad things happen.
