You BOUGHT a house sight unseen in a place you've never been before?
I have to say, I am always surprised to hear of people doing this, mainly because of the huge variability I saw when lot "hunting", some in lots sitting side by side. So this post is not just for those who have done just that, but for all- what have you found on your properties or in your neighborhoods, after purchase, that surprised you?
For me, it was that the lot we bought in Fern Acres (after 4 separate week-end visits from Oahu) had been previously graded under all those ferns!
