[quote=no_such_reality]BG, be vary cautious of homes that have sat with the utilities turned off for extended periods…It’s good rule of thumb, never by a rental you would be unwilling to live in or in an area you wouldn’t want to live in.[/quote]
Understand this, NSR. This is even more sage advice for colder climates. These problems are fixable in SD, IMHO. The buyer can always have utilities turned on before removing contingencies to test.
Some of you Piggs need to “get out” more. Not everyone walks their dogs in a “planned community” with developer-manufactured trails, parks and playgrounds.
Folks, it’s really okay to walk on a city street, even alone. There are VERY FEW areas in this county I wouldn’t walk at night and even some of those I would be okay walking in with a partner.
Note that I’m still alive to discuss it with you all :=]
