I put an offer in on a house and it was accepted. I’m now deep in the weeds of validating this is a good idea before my 10-day inspection period expires and I lose my deposit if I later decide to back out.

It’s a gorgeous 3-unit house in a great neighborhood.

But

It feels like I’m tackling a renovation project on the scale pictured above.

It’s got lead violations.

It’s racking up fines from the city.

It’s not to legal fire code.

It’s in a historical district which requires special approvals.

It’s fully occupied at below market rents.

It’s in an area where I don’t know reputable contractors.

It needs repairs I know nothing about.

Needless to say, I’m doing a lot more reading and learning than writing and reflecting currently. I will share more once I get it all sorted.

Until then, here’s a picture of a cute puppy and kitty.
