I’m buying a house!
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.
