    My dumb pro tip for buying a house: go and scope out the area at different times of the day before you put in an offer. Example, go to the neighborhood when you would leave for work and get home from work and see how the traffic is. Also go in the evening. Just visiting the house once in the middle of the day will not really tell you if the neighborhood is a good fit for you.

      Also friday/Saturday night if you have the time. I swung by on July 4th so see what the neighborhood was like. A couple of small get togethers happening but nothing too crazy. Figured if it wasn’t too bad on a national holiday it wouldn’t get too crazy normally.
