How on earth can this provide a sound underwriting and/or investment decision?

The earth causes your house to move over the years from rain, snow, heat, ect which causes the ground to move which causes the foundation to move. you ever notice cracks in the walls of older homes with plaster walls, detached baseboards or crown molding and cracks in the foundation these thing happen over the years it's just a matter of time until it decide to expose its nasty self..A.Joyner

It had a house on Google Earth, but had burnt to the ground a few years back and was now a bunch of weeds.  

(this deals with the simplicity of the project- usually if there is no earth moving or structural changes then they can do an expedited review)Can we do preliminary work prior to the permit (any demo or framing of walls)?

Although not earth shattering by any means, this is just a single data point and a potential indicator of a slow down in the local market.

I'd like to pose this question to anyone who has insight into the 'off-market' market.Why on Earth would anyone not use a real estate agent to sell their house?

There are steel studs in the walls (none are load bearing), metallic gridwork supporting the suspended ceiling and rebar in the concrete floor, all of which has an electrical path to earth ground.

We had another with an un expected $12k sewer replacement that was 18 feet down under the earth, so that sucked.

In my opinion, if you have a tenant injured or worse by CO there isn't a jury on earth that would not find you negligent in civil or criminal court.
