Dealbreaker? Ocean views with power lines

Hi all,

Are power lines a deal breaker? Under contract on what appears to be a solid deal…ocean view 2/2 home over a 1/1 apt that is already occupied by a great tenant.  The rent from the apartment will pay 60% of the mortgage and we plan to Airbnb the main house when not in town.


One catch is that most of the ocean views also include power lines that are located across the street. The house Is priced a bit below market so the numbers work for us, but curious what you think in terms of resale and STR potential given the lines messing up the views a bit. Has anyone purchased a similar property? Would this be a deal breaker for you if everything else about a property was on point?
