The issues raised in this thread are some of the reasons why I will probably rent in TV long-term, rather than purchase a home. Worrying about build-out is one thing, but having to live next to a home that has a half-dozen cart tires piled up on the outside, along with lack of lawn maintenance, etc is just too much risk. What will that do to the neighbor's property values? I'd hate to try to sell my home if my neighbor's house looked like that! I don't think I want that risk. Easier to just rent and then, if the neighborhood goes downhill, I could just move at the end of the lease.
