Would you buy a property with one of THESE in the backyard??

We are looking at this property as a potential live-in flip.  The property itself is near Roseville, CA.  The owner is an absentee landlord who just wants the property gone.  She's very motivated to get rid of it.  The property itself needs a moderate amount of work.  Most of which we could do while we are living in the property.  It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a converted garage which has another 2 bedrooms and one bathroom (potential househack arrangement) My biggest hang-up is this massive electrical tower that is in the backyard.  It's somewhat of an eyesore but I can get over that.  I've heard rumors of potential health hazards associated with the radiation from power lines.  Does anyone have information/thoughts about living so close to the power lines?  Thanks in advance!

Nope, I'm not a scientist, but I am fairly certain no good news will ever be published about living under power lines. 

But seriously, if you are having heart ache about it, so will the next buyer.
