4. No Batteries; so won't have power fail backup
5. Lease is assumable to new homeowner.
6. We love the home they are attached to.
7. Seller has reduced asking price by $20k

Asking the Hive mind if we should just go ahead and purchase the home; which we really love.

Thank you!
ASSUMPTIONS will cost you the MOST money of all. Do your homework. Good luck.
