About 20 years ago a commercial building near here came up for sale. It had been a 1970s franchise 'quick' market, then a greasy-spoon restaurant. When they decided to close and move out I contacted their real estate agent. He was a guy famous for setting up transactions that used the equity in your existing property to swing the down payment on a new one. This would be the only way I could swing it. It seemed nearly ideal, with a cemetery on two sides of the property, and a funeral home on the remaining side. Closest residences were across a fairly-wide street. Seemed close to the ideal spot to run some power without disturbing apartment dwellers next door.
But the deal fell through. Didn't feel too bad about it, since the buyer paid cash in full while I was trying to conjure up a leveraged purchase. That Amvets post that bought it had a fairly stout piggy bank, so I knew I was out of my league there.
But a cemetery is the ultimate quiet neighbor. And no risk of TVI complaints.
And yeah, the Amvets post is still there.
