Re: Fools With Money said by NPGMBR:But honestly, who thinks about who their entertainment provider will be when buying a brand new home. For most people a home is one of the biggest investments they will ever make. I know when I purchased mine I lost count of how many hours I spent researching neighborhoods, school systems, broadband availability, crime reports, commuting routes and other such things. Any homebuyer is putting up a ton of money in the process, so researching the purchase as much as possible beforehand to ensure that a house meets one needs is vital.

Arlington, VA | Yeah that applies to you but not to the majority. Do you honestly think that everyone else would think that they need to see who their entertainment provider will be. It's my GUESS that most people just look to see whats available in the area and leave it at that not expecting that there will be restrictions on which providers they can use. |

Anyone who does not do their homework, especially when buying something as big as a house, deserves to get taken. Homeowner association policies need to be stated when someone puts down that much money. This service is the same as an association fee.
When I bought my house, I made sure there was no home owner's association or group. Most tend to be problem makers rather than problem solvers. |

Arlington, VA | I understand your point but what I'm saying is that with everything that goes into making that purchase decision, seeing who the service provider is might be one of those things that gets bumped to the bottom of the list and forgotten. Just because it's very important to you does not mean it holds equal importance to others. |

Just because it's very important to you does not mean it holds equal importance to others. Everything needs to be taken into consideration when buying a house: schools, roads, nearby shopping, traffic, cost, etc. If someone puts an internet service provider to the bottom of the list, then they need to live with the consequences of their choices.
As I said before, I weighed everything when I bought my house. I weighed the pros and cons and decided to buy the house.
I understand DC houses are outrageous but people need to do research when dumping as much money as they do on a house.
I even had a friend remove the antenna restrictions from his contract. The homeowner's association told him they would sue. He told them he would have both them and the developer (who approved the waiver) in court and, either way, someone was buying his house at full value. He never heard another thing about it. |
