He sends me listings and waits for a call from me, no pressure.

I have so much pressure now lifted off of my shoulders.

Do not feel pressured by anybody to get started as long as you have good reasons.  

Imagine your tenant gets upset and looks for any way possible to put pressure on you.

I am feeling so much guilt because this person seems like they are under so much pressure and have been waiting to see the property for nearly 3 weeks ..

I just mention those as andidotal stories because I like to tell stories and I have been developing land since the late 70s and I have a lot of them.In CA it can take decades .I just did 7 lot split in North  Charleston SC and that was done in 120 days start to finish.. but it was on existing streets.... so just platting.I have a 23 lot project in Portland going right now... we will put the first stick in the ground 2 years from when I went into contract.. we started the underground in July and will pave next week.to be fair we have had a brutual winter .. and my excavator failed a Sewer pressure test and had to replace 300 ft of main line ( on his dime).. but with those two things we are 3 months longer than we like and with a 1.2 mil loan even at 6% its 20k in extra holding cost.When your doing development any dollars less than 100k are just small bills  LOL.

It monitors water flow and can detect leaks based on changes in water pressure (and theoretically shut off the water before a leak causes much damage). 

That sounds about right. 1) Make sure you sprinkle lots of pressure all over...

Back porch floor and railings need to be pressure washed5.

I speculate that the pressure from the Feds probably stops the big boys from pursuing deficiencies, to some degree.
