Non-pre-start costs => Soft costs (architecture, engineering, soils samples, etc.) + hard costs of construction4.

In our area, we have expansive soil which is hell on foundations.

.)- 1 soil stack must be replaced- 2 kitchen stacks must be replaced- One unit has water damage to the tile floor and tiled walls.

Found out there were some issues (floor uneven, no proper foundation - house is on blocks, thinks there's water running underneath without proper drainage system, etc.).

If so, I am curious to the use of batt insulation between the joists with a layer of poly underneath (cold side).

Loosen any really compacted soils by raking or you may need to aerate.

Once you have this info you seek out developers that are specialist in building that type of asset and gauge their level of interest in buying your land.If your land is mostly level and does not have streams running through it etc. and the soil is good the cost per acre to get site ready will be cheap.

This could get you out from underneath the payment and you would save on the current loss you are taking, but would also give up any future market recovery.

I estimated the closing costs with my title company to cost anywhere from 5-800 dollars.Example: Purchase Price of $9,000 offer was accepted under terms that end buyer pays closing costs, which in this case we'll say totals $800.Could I write on the contract Total Purchase Price $9000 and then underneath that include a line that says "Net To Seller", and put $8200, or $9k-fees.

I know that a slow leaking pipe is not dealt with by putting a bucket underneath.
