It's sitting on an acre of land, and I would say it's in good location (easy access to highway). I can see the issues with not using public utilities, which are available to houses on the other side of the fense (newer community). Whom should I speak to in order to figure out the possibility of hooking up on water and gas?

Just a sewer tap alone I have seen 10,000 before in GA for that one thing. Is the land worth anything? Sounds like the house not much. A water cistern can become contaminated and if you rent to tenants lots of liability there just like with well water and constant testing.

I'm looking at a 2 bedroom 1 bath ranch house that has no public water (using Cistern), no public sewer (septic), and no natural gas (heating using propane gas), and has no central cooling. Next to the house is a newer community which should have access to all the public utilities. I am wondering if anyone has experience/suggestion in switching a house to public utilities in situations such as this? What's the process look like? How long with it take, and what's the general cost to do so?

Thanks @Rich Wells for the recommendation. I went with them, although the average per square foot is almost $70. Not sure if this is the going rate in this area though.

ELECTRICITY CAN NOT BE ACTIVATED FOR INSPECTION per HUD Field Service Manager

 You're right. That's the reason we skipped the electrical part during the inspection. Now that we closed on it, we need to figure out what exactly was "damaged."

 Thank you, David! That's exactly what I will do next.
