It’s painful to learn about these situations after you moved in, but anytime you have a property in close proximity to others, like condos, attached rowhomes, townhomes etc, there is a good chance there will be a less than desirable neighbor near by.

Before you spend the time to physically see properties, you will want to have a pre-approval letter from a lender.
