I just went to look at a townhouse with a friend of mine. She has a lovely apartment but really lead footed neighbors living above her. Having a home myself I seemed to be a good choice for a cohort on this trip. She was very taken with the place, but the drive to own one's own place can be blinding at times. The market is red hot right now and she may get pushed into this deal before she's ready to buy. I spoke my piece but now I'm done. Of course, on the way back to campus we started having a law student conversation that went like this: "Can you put earnest money down on a deal that will be concluded by your parents?" "Can you bind them with the contract?" "Would you need power of attorney?" "Do you have a real estate attorney?" "What about a pest inspection?" "If the deal goes bad, who gets sued?" "Why is it raining?" "Am I going to miss class?" "Why is every light red?"
