Tips on buying a house

[BarTopDancer]

If you can, visit the neighborhood(s) you're considering at different times (weekend afternoon, a Tuesday night). You can get a feel for the type of neighborhood it will be - are there parties going on at night on the weekends? Are a bunch of kids playing the street on a weeknight?

We did this looking for apartments and what a difference it makes. when I looked at one place, it was street sweeper day and there wasn't a car on the street. That place had serious parking issues every day but Tuesdays around 9am.
