Thanks @Martin D. I def passed this onto my CPA to validate!

This is a helpful article! Would seller concessions benefit the seller in the form of capital gains reduction especially on flips?

Hi All,  jumping in on this thread. Are there any maintenance cost on a radon mitigation system ?

Thanks for the feedback, this is really appreciated ! @Mark Terry @Jason Turgeon I would think that consulting with the town’s building department before agreeing to move forward would be ideal, but I don’t want to put the current owners @risk.  I thought about asking the sellers to require obtaining permits before closing but have not posed that yet.  Sellers have their new house to close on so they want a fast close.  

Hi All,

I recently put an offer on a home in the Greater Boston area and found out that there's work done in the basement which did not have a permit (in law with bathroom and kitchen).  Makes me a bit uneasy and have heard conflicting things like "everyone does it" to "town could ask you to rip everything down and fine you."  Has anyone had this experience in the Greater Boston area? I believe town regulations differ but would love some feedback.

Thanks!
