	Guidance on Inspections, Appraisals for Tenant-Occupied Homes in Contract
	By Christal Park Keegan, NVR Legal Information Line Attorney An overwhelming number of questions from our members to the Legal Information Lines seek guidance on executing due diligence terms on tenant-occupied homes in contract.
