Taxes are half the cost compared to CA and insurance is lower if not by the water.

Otherwise, you will likely be copying someone else's false expectations.I have reviewed hundreds of such self-constructed logs, and most of them will not hold water.

Unfortunately - my current lot for my primary is 1 acre and VERY sloped, and close to a water source (creek), so the county has not even allowed me to permit my downstairs finished basement without an extremely costly renovation to our septic (over $60,000, and that doesn't count demo'ing and replacing our driveway to get to the existing tank and leachfield), and even if I could permit it, it would essentially need to be a treehouse in the redwoods due to the slope (not a bad idea though, I would actually love a livable treehouse on this lot!

Software return people with specific attributes, be it foreclosure, whether they bought houses in cash before, whther or not they have dealt with a water shut-off list.

If you can manage to keep up with the real estate market in these markets that we have come to hit, and still be able to navigate the unchartered waters.

You want to make sure you aren't muddying the water and making the tenant think they have longer to get out.

Water heaters, furnaces, flooring, etc etc, all these things have known life expectancies.

Think hiking, mountain biking, white water rafting and a community overall focused on all natural things and sustainability.

My cleaners take a video after every turn, my team goes in to check everything is good after cleaning and record salt and PH level logs and I have a licensed plumber who is in charge of maintaining plumbing, water heater, and boiler system with logs.

Primarily desert washes, but also near a creek....So I would go knock on doors and ask neighbors when it has flooded and what they think about the area......maybe call the County water board and ask then what has happened there in the past.
