Common questions

What should I check before buying a home with a well?

Ask for the well's records, have the water tested and find out the flow rate. Your lender may require a water test before closing.

Who maintains the road to a rural property?

Some roads are county-maintained and some are private. Ask before you buy, because a private road means the owners share the cost of grading and snow removal.

Can I rent out a home I buy in Wyoming?

Usually, but check the city or county rules, any HOA covenants and your loan terms first. Short-term rentals have extra rules in some areas.
