This isn't the most honest route to go but you better believe if I was on the fence about actually making a purchase, I'll exhaust an answer to every last question in my mind if it's the right choice or not, before I make the move.

I've done that before and I would say its my last resort after I've exhausted every possibility. 6% is 6% saved.

If say someone wanted to develop a property and construct homes that had engineering built in to help withstand an earthquake -- what does this add to the cost?  

I get called out on water intrusion issues all the time when the crews have exhausted their options.

What other options have you exhausted in attempt to look for homes

I have read an exhausting amount of information (including things here on BP) and truth be told, I am still completely confused about whether I should pursue an LLC or liability insurance.

Before you do anything else- exhaust BP first....

@Jon Nelson  I'm being super careful with my numbers but obviously as I said, those are just back of the envelope numbers non-withstanding  the mathematical differences from the mean and the medium home price. 

Exhaust any legal measures you may have, and if none then I'd just move on.    

If you could withstand two years of constant rejection, I surely can withstand a couple of off weeks.
