It’s a different approach than the one we take, but I think it caters to a similar market slice as other organic/sustainably grown foods (a big segment!).

They will be looking for things like can the windows and doors open, do the appliances work, does plumbing work, are there any safety issues, etc.If you write something into the contract, then the appraiser is going to be looking at it.

In the seven months since then, mindset has given people the energy to connect with friends and family, to sew masks, to organize food drives, to honor health-care workers, to approach each day with a “how can I help?”

So, they typically have the pet bowls and food sitting right there.

I don’t think contractor availability has really been affected by COVID, but much more just from their being in so much demand from folks doing renovations and home improvements.I think BRRR and house hacking are both still very good strategies, but yes you should account for some contractor delays and a bit higher costs just because contractors are in such demand right now.I’d also recommend that if you haven’t done rehabs before you only take on a small-medium rehab project, not a large one (60K+) and that you add a 10% extra buffer to your estimated project cost for safety to account for first time learning opportunities 😊

What would happen if somebody filled up their cart with food from the grocery store and rushed out the door screaming Covid?

I would love to get opinions of people that knows the area in terms of safety. 

Every issue except the weather stripping(I've been tagged for weather stripping also) is a health/safety issue.

Veronica,I'd investigate Torrance listings first; Torrance has a nice old downtown that's adorable.Harbor City isn't much to look at, though there is a Whole Foods there now!

I think if you look at the statistics, you'll see trends that point to the stimulus checks being used for rent and food and essential living expenses.
