Really appreciate the help!

We’re in a DIA flight path now, actually, so we’re used to it!

Really good to know!

To give you an idea on flood insurance, I was looking at a house that was in a flood zone, so I got a quote for flood insurance: $6,600 a year. Which is never going to go down, and might go up.

Also flood insurance only covers a max of $250,000 in damage. If the house were a total loss, I would be out a lot of money.

I decided that having flood insurance be 25% of my mortgage payment was unacceptable. I could buy a lot more house with that money.

Pilgrim high school is definitely in the flight path for PVD airport so you should definitely take into consideration whether significant noise from planes overhead would be bothersome to you or your family members.

There are other differences too. Where I moved from, the rules were strict and followed to the letter. In RI it is definitely not that way.

Super helpful - thank you for the insight!

The bargain buyer for northwest RI usually has a rough sawn lumber listing

I hope it all works out for you and that your realtor has more insight to give you peace of mind!

We had contracts on a few houses before we were finally able to purchase. In my experience, this is pretty common in RI. The real estate market is quite a bit more loose here. Very different here than many other states Many of the homes here are older and the sellers really don’t know the info. Even if your purchase isn’t contingent on an inspection, you can still have an inspection done and that should answer most of your questions.

Thanks for that. We’re concerned about that for sure. I keep asking people whether they’d risk it for a great location, and I can’t get a consensus.

Ohhhh it got spicy! Like I’ve said, this dude from Bitimani seems like a grifter. He doesn’t get his way and then blames someone else. The one person saying they took forever to serve food, and didn’t clean up seems to be the reason they didn’t want to collab anymore. Happy that the youth have come to bat for AS220.

Second this recommendation

Pay attention to flood zones. If you are in a flood-zone you are required to have flood insurance. Also, I wouldn't want to deal with that stress.

Thanks for the tip!

Oh wow! That’s actually really helpful insight. I have an email in to my realtor as well, but you know how local homeowners just know stuff sometimes!

We did quite a bit of research and drove around a lot in October when we were in town. We have autistic people in my family, so the stuff that makes Warwick unattractive to some people (big box stores and chain restaurants) is actually great for us, and it’s very similar to the environment we live in now outside Denver. We like the area around Pilgrim High School in particular and are also considering a house near Conimicut Point. There’s not much inventory, unsurprisingly.

Try old fashioned Google, not kidding lots of places repair/replace Windshields. Also check out your car's insurance policy, lots of companies cover windshields from damaged to total replacement good luck 🤞

Use patriot inspection - he leaves no stone unturned. Source- used him on two of our homes and brother did not use him and he wish he did

I'm in the middle of selling a home in RI now, and we marked "unknown" on most of the lines, because we didn't have the proper documentation to prove what we knew/ were aware of. The previous owner had a bathroom installed in the basement but never got permits for the work, so we couldn't even add that it had that bathroom on our listing.

I would ask your realtor about it, as they are way more privy to what's up with the seller. Could be nothing, but if your gut is saying that's weird, then it probably is.

Welcome to the ocean state from the rocky's to the beach ... where in warwick are you moving too? I assume you did all the neighborhood research!

Thank you all. For your knowledge

Good to know inspections aren’t being waived right now. Coming from Colorado, 100-year old homes are a whole new thing to consider!

Yep, exactly.
