thect

So I am still mixed on whether riding on the sidewalk should be illegal. Bicycle - car accident is generally worse than human- car.

To me the issue is not whether it will flood. The problem is dealing with city if there is a fire or you want to do repairs. Personally that is what makes me avoid the floodplain.

I am talking single family, brick/non-stucco construction... the innards of ~1985 to the present (plumbing, wiring, insulation, foundations, etc.) are better than the two or three decades before...

I don't know. Personally I like the quality of construction in old houses more. They seemed to have higher standard back then. While new houses have more regulations some builders still are able to put together a low quality product. I mean the old houses have issues because they are old. But all in all I didnt have more problems with my 1950 house than I had with my 1990 house.

Sometimes with stuff like that its the sellers trying to stall for time to get another offer. But in your case with multiple sellers its probably just coordination between them. When I have dealt with multiple sellers its takes forever.

I have seen some sellers willing to negotiate and others are not. I would not give up after two offers. Personally I would not buy with cash now rates are below 5. You might be able to get better than than in a cd in a few years.

The banks are still being extremely difficult to deal with. And they are treating condos worse than single family homes. I would try different banks and see if they will accept your appraisal. As bad as they are with condos they are worse with commercial real estate. They basically have almost no interest in refinancing commercial right now.

So they generally are part of the contract when you buy a home to avoid lawsuits. (IE the fridge broke I bet the sellers knew are going to court) If I was selling a home I would recommend giving one to the buyer.

After a year or two I would consider the house. If everything is fine I would avoid it. If the AC is making wierd noises and the dishwasher is having issues I would probably renew it.

I had never heard of "Astrodomain" either but I guess it makes sense. I remember their was some wierd bridge that seemed to connect astroworld and the astrodoom.
