Create your own community watch, association, brotherhood......I dont care what you call it. Ive ended up with some crappy neighbors in the past. This is the due diligence thread to hopefully attract like mined folk to your hood.
Certainly when the selling house is adjacent or right in your kitchen window.

Dang, I like that place. Wish I could find something like around here for that price.
 
Just for clarification, is this your house for sale or is this a neighboring house?

Either way, awesome house. I wouldn't like the $250 light bill, but then house has great character. Minus that god aweful pallet board bathroom

The house I live in is just as old, not nearly the work done and is made of hand made brick. The listed house was mostly wood and easier to renovate. At least moving walls and bracing does not crumble 16 inches of silly puddy dried out and packed like a rectangular structural device. Stuff that anchors take a hold in help a lot too.
 
I usually get in good with the neighbors first and pony up for neighborhoodship accordingly. Farther off the map you go, the better the people are. City people suck.

That place and property would be $850k up here, seriously. It would be under contract in a day.
That's a near dream place for me!

5 acres? It's be easily a million around here.
 
I dare not show this to my wife. Nice place.

That's the folk I hope don't buy and move.

Jackass above us takes his dogs into another neighbors yard to shit daily. The neighbor getting the shit has a house restored and is a virtual museum. It's beautiful. He spends mostly weekends at it maintaining.

We all confronted the asshole shitter and his music and constant smoldering cardboard grass fires......he said: "that's why I moved to the country".
I wish he'd left when he blew up his outbuilding.

Behind it is probably 60 the family kept. Adjacent to that is one house and another at least 60 my in-laws own.
Each neighbor besides me is in there 70 to 80 year bracket. Old good folk.

Yeah in the dozens of places I've lived/stayed since High school, it's really redefined "neighbor" for me. There's two types: Best friends, next to kin, considered family, and if not that they may as well be complete strangers that know nothing about you. The in-betweens are the ones to worry about.

I reworded my statement a little, was not exactly clear as written. But I couldn't agree more. Your either a stranger or treated like family. The in between folk need an island of their own.

Yep, I have 3 neighbors that are like family, and one that makes me want to personify my reputation.

This must be great, but I trust you are aware what happens when those old good folk pass on the other side.
If they own a lot of the land, for your sake I hope the family does not take that opportunity to sell it off, bc it inevitably means you'll be facing subdivisions. I'm sure you know this story, I've seen it unfold way too many times.

Yep. Hence the five acres. One greedy brother. Family has the rest. One neighbor is already doing as you spoke. Glad they are the ones farther away across the road, adjacent to the selling property.

Funny thing the whole damn lot used to be owned by three brothers.

As for my married family I don't hold my breath. Two sister, one I'm marri d to will inherit. The other has absolutely no spoken ties and has said she'd happily sell. Who knows. Time and money are are the only things more consistently changing then most men's word.
