[quote=Anonymous]So last summer we found a really fantastic deal on a condo in DC, it was competitive to get it, but our offer ended up being the winning bid. We got through the home inspection and everything was going great, but then a few things happened before we closed:

1. There was a window that had to be replaced - the sellers agent said that a contractor didnt have a key and had to break the window to get in. This was for a unit with a code lock box. I was 100% sure she was lying and that someone had broken in.

2. This article came out in the post, referencing the very block we were buying on: http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/dc-police-arrest-teenage-burglary-suspect-in-northeast-after-call-from-witness/2014/07/16/9989a55e-0cf5-11e4-8c9a-923ecc0c7d23_story.html

And so, we pulled out. I am still convinced the condo was an amazing investment and that the owners will make a tidy sum if they resell in 5 years or so. But we just couldn't stomach the possibility of a breakin with a small child. [/quote]
