Buy a property without inspecting utilities?

[Gerardo Dominguez]

Hello BP nation!  I have a property under contract and the seller is pushing back on some stuff.  The thing that worries me the most is that they don't want to turn on the utilities.  I'm doing extensive rehab (SOW is ~120K) so I can't afford any major surprises.  I'd like some input here...Should I close on this thing without having the utilities turned on first?   Yay or Nay; why or why not?
