I was driving 30 some odd miles every day. Now I drive/walk/bike a mile to the Metro. I cannot remember the last time I got gas. It's great!

Biggest complaint is walking is uphill both ways, so the band where the weather is good is very slim. Bike is quick but the drivers between home and the Metro are nuts.

I agree with everyone else regarding metro. Not sure where you’re driving in from but I normally park near Crystal City or Pentagon City metros for free on weekends or after 4 during the week, and then metro in for like $2

Had similar, and extremely expensive foundation issues (water intrusion eating away at the support, broken pipe and disposal of construction debris under the house) to resolve after purchase that seller had to have known about. The burden on me to both sue the home inspection for being derelict in their duties and the seller far exceeded my ability to pay for such legal representation with the uncertainty of winning.

I can recommend you talk to a whiz of inspections who is often called in these cases and can assist in any legal path. Jim Delgado (who I should have had as a home inspector bc he's so thorough he drives realtors insane) is the best in town. Used to work for DCRA and knows all their tricks. Delgado and Associates, jimdelgado50@gmail.com Delgadoinspections.com. He was a little crotchety but a solidly amazing advocate.
