Checking with the departments one by one for each land listing that looks promising seems very inefficient.Regarding costs, i hear build costs of containers vs stick built being similar, but I had wondered if that is taking all aspects into consideration like build time, foundation and site prep requirements, etc. yes, steel cutters and welders are a special trade but the structure can arrive pre-built and potentially just sit on concrete pier foundations if the soil and zoning allows.

The soil here causes a lot of settling.

So I gave in and bought the white enamel steel shelf with hangar rod underneath.

That is because you might run into a really deep patch of top soil that has to be removed and replaced with clay.

That makes an enormous difference.You can also get rubber floor insulation that goes underneath your tile/hardwoods.And don't forget the power of furniture.

I'm watching a 8U go up across the street that I suspect will sink into the swampy soil because they poured a trench type footing rather than driving piles like the better constructed infill.

Constructing a home is an option but DEMO/Soil Engineering/Septic systems can be costly.

There's been a couple times I've looked for a particular persons blog and I could not find it.I got an email from my reia asking a question about wholesaling REO's and I wanted to send them the link to Steph's blog, I went into her profile and on the right hand side it shows past posts, groups the persons in but no link to their blogs/articles (unless I'm missing it) I also type in the persons name on the search and click to search for blogs but nothing comes up.... this has happened a couple times, is there a way to have people blogs/articles show up on their profile underneath their recent posts...

Replacing a tub costs way more than $400 and can open up a can of worms and lead to even more repairs depending on whether the floor underneath the tub is damaged, tiles around the tub, plumbing issues etc.

Meaning after all of your soft costs such as soils engineer, architect, and structural engineering then submitted your plans to your local building department for approval and permits.
