Ask yourself, will the neighbors who have been this animated, so much so they were throwing their dog’s poop at the house, be happy about your purchase?

After all that, make sure you hire the best inspector you can find. A private inspector can save you from a big mistake and uncover any major issues. Make sure your inspector inquired and looks as the foundation, inspects the roof, examines the basement and utility rooms, the gas system, the HVAC systems, and keeps a keen eye out for water issues.

Be sure to hire the best lawyer you can find. Have them scour the town records to learn more about the home’s controversy with the neighborhood and any inspection history.
