Re: nuclear option.. said by tmc8080:would you buy a $200k house that didn't have plumbing or any chance of getting clean fresh water? how about electricity?
I've seen $500k houses that were totally off-the-grid. (Granted, with $300k land value, because they were on the ocean.) By that, I mean septic tanks, well water, and propane-fired generators.
But yes, if you want Internet badly enough, you should indeed treat it as a capital improvement. If you want to buy a house that has a bad roof, then it's only logical that you get a quote to replace the roof, and then deduct that amount from your bid. Similarly if you see a house with bad Internet, for whatever reason. |
