Activating Utilities in Buyers name?

Hi all,

I've been trying to prep to purchase one of these Hubzu auction REO properties. Finding a lender that will close without turning water on (hubzu policy) has been challenging to say the least.

I read somewhere about some people just turning the water on in their own names (buyer name) for inspections/appraisals. Is this unusual, or fairly the norm in your experiences?
