Sometimes to reinstate a 1st I just keep inching up the tender alount until they accept the payment rather than sending it back.

Tall order, but has been done (not in 2021 market though :- )

As a landlord, I would not be happy about a 5 inch lye stain, but poop happening in the landlording business is an expectation.

It is not like land is in some high demand where it sells quickly and dealing with land is a very specialized field since there are thousands of issues that need to be ironed out before a lot sells e.g. nobody wants to buy a lot where you can't build what you want on the lot because the last blue butterfly in the world lives in a bush on the lot, or the lot is on an earthquake fault, or there is the county will not let you build a structure on the lot more than 10 feet tall, or you cannot cut down a 100-year old tree right where you want your building to go and the list goes on and on.

You may want to check with local codes (building department in the city your home is in) about the railing.  3 steps should be about 22 inches but sometimes people don't count the porch as a step, they simply see 3 physical steps and say it is 3 steps when the fourth is the porch. 

And now the Fire Marshall again after the fact.. wants 1000 feet of 8 inch water main outside of our project there would be zero homes protected with this water line. thats 100k.. so right there on 30 lots about 8k a lot increase.. then in this city add 30k for permits and other 50k per lot to put in sewer water power etc to their standards and well you have 88k per lot round up to 100k because its always more..

On a larger park, I would recommend a formal cost segregation study for this, but an 8 unit park is too small for that to make sense, so you can also assign a value in the bill of sale to include:Landscaping shrubbery & trees: 35 mature trees approx. 20’ tall each, pool equipment, roads: XXX square yards of asphalt paving, sidewalk and curbing, electrical pedestals, concrete pads, underground utilities for electric, sewer or septic, pool, clubhouse, etc. 

You'd want an extra thick sand layer to prevent telegraphing--like 2 inches?

It honestly looks like the whole slab sunk down a few inches, but looks like a wooden landing and steps could be built over it as maybe a cheaper option.

In my market “Guam” that is a tall order.
