Coming from NYC, I can tell you West Ward is far from what is considered dangerous here.

Some uninformed people mentioned that it's dangerous to buy property in Mexico because there have been repossessions.

There are some danger neighborhoods around here that looks decent online.

The worst areas I've seen are probably the homeless encampments along the bike path between RiNo and North Washington/Commerce City, but it's just gross due to the combination of industrial waste and human waste, not really dangerous in the drive by shooting sense.

The once dangerous and lackadaisical downtown area is now vibrant and growing at a rapid pace.

The one shot dealers are dangerous. 

Apparently years ago there was a house on the lot that was condemned as a dangerous house.

It means they need to call that day and schedule them to go on, if the utility company takes a day or two to get them on, then the Sellers are still meeting their obligations.This is part of the danger you take on by doing a 7 day option period, which you probably did to make your offer more attractive.

As such, your lender is you first line of defense - if it's not good enough for them, it shouldn't be good enough for you. having said this, more than likely there is nobody in your family who knows enough to evaluate a real estate deal properly, and as such you become the smartest guy in the room - dangerous as all hell!

Hey Ryan,Like Chris, I know enough to be dangerous.
