When selecting an house once you’ve committed to A contract you have a 10 day inspection period. Use the time to inspect the area by that I mean look for the locations of the sewage treatment facilities, The location of the railroad tracks proximity of I-75 and the turnpike. These things could make your life very miserable once you’re moved in. Good luck!

Yeah, the microwave thing was wierd. The hole was cut in the drywall correctly, but about 2" to the left of where it should have been. The vent was installed and the siding done around it (mine is stick-built) but the vent was full of wasp nests since it was never used. They just put a plate over the hole behind the vent when they realized their mistake. The microwave had the rear exhaust dole cut in the metal, so they were ready. But in defense of them, whoever ran the gas line there messed up also. They probably marked the floor wrong when they made the marks for utilities, etc...
I was pleasantly surprised to see that the siding is all very well-insulated siding. When i replaced the thermostat we didn't have AC for about 4 hours while I was on the phone trying to get an issue with the dehumidifier fixed. The home stayed very cool, only rising by 1 degree over 4 hours. Very happy with the insulation and that also helps keep the house quiet.
