Sounds like it might be a flipper, who never lived on the property. If it is, check that they got (and closed) any necessary permits. Call the town and request they email you any info they have on the property. (You may even be able to search the town website online yourself?)

It may also be worth asking your realtor to see if they can pull any old data on the MLS.

No. Especially if the cop is near where I live.

If someone is driving way too fast I don’t want them warned I want them caught and given a ticket. That is how the system is supposed to work.

I’m tired of seeing people doing 50 in residential areas and getting away with it.

It’s really nice! The detail and the grays are done really well! The only thing I’d change is to make the gray face more consistent on the building you left simple. I like that there’s less detail there, but the fact that it goes from dark to light makes it pop out more, and I think if you made that gray wash more consistent it would help it sit more quietly behind that really nice building in front of it

But use of that particular FORM (the several pages of checklist) is not. Disclosures go in MLs like they go anywhere (not just RI). And saying “unknown” is an answer to a disclosure. A seller not having that form when it’s on market is not unusual. That’s my point. Only some sellers (or agents who require their sellers) both in RI and MA as well use that kind of form. Lots of times it’s just disclosed in the disclosure box on the mls listing or in the PS amendments once they agree. But if it’s a fsbo I’d be even more wary - or a flipper acting as the agent.

Not official, but I think it's mostly generally understood...?

I'd say like 4+ flashes for cop ahead.

Other codes:

  • Single flash of the hazards as a thank you from a semi truck

  • Double flash for "all clear" when someone wants to change into your lane in front of you

edit: here's a wikipedia article with a summary of meanings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headlight_flashing

And also checking unknown is also v common everywhere in NE esp around lead. I mean if they do actually know something and don’t disclose it’s on you the buyer to do you own research but “unknown” is a legitimate answer. Folks don’t look on purpose for some stuff. And realtors are obligated to disclose if their seller does tell them something as well. Is this a FSBO?
