Pat's sister bought a home and moved in before all the paperwork had been processed. The dumbsh** also did not change the locks - knowing full well that it had been a drug house. She got burglarized (by someone who had a key) and there was nothing anyone could do about it because legally she wasn't supposed to be there in the first place. Not a note on home repair, I know - but it goes with the "wait until it's yours for sure" recommendations that everyone else has made.
