Request a the death certificate.

I think communication gap is minimal...I come from a family with both extremes of college educated...ill say wealth..but none were high society type and poverty/deaths of drug overdose.That combined with my 15+ years in customer service I am confident in that area...however the overall point you make is a good one and something to keep in mind.I guess I need to re-look at the market and possibley look for a lower price point with higher standards and see what comes back....I also guess any cashflow I can just eat for the time being as extra savings towards repairs...the mortgage is set up on a 30 year note...I could pay it off much sooner too to work towards letting someone else manage it..

Transitional - These are people who make enough money to buy a home and typically only rent due to some event in their lives like a divorce, death of a spouse, etc.

Employment levels are already down 3-4% from mass early retirement, extra deaths, no immigration for 1.5 years, and extra disability from long covid or claims of it. 

So is a furnace, AC, a tenant claiming bankruptcy, a death in you unit, divorced tenants, mechanical weathering of driveway, walkway, water pipes and sewer issues, roots in pipes etc... 

Planned to move this fall but with my Dad's death decided to move now.

Problem with that logic is death is 100% certain.

@Michelle Bulich Only my humble opinion, but, just see if you can find out if there were any deaths in the property.

GEDs can be the kids of death and having nothing is really dumb.

So far we have been looking at Richmond Homes, KB Homes and Toll Brothers.
