(This does not include FHA loans which the often times look at with a fine-tooth comb.)

And in my situation further north, we have freeze-thaw cycles that compound these water erosion issues.

I go thru every agreement now with a fine-tooth comb and challenge anything I don't like. 

Thanks @Reid Chauvin, @Greg M. and @Theresa Harris for your input, that's what I thought too, the house have ceiling fans, it is not inhabitable, maybe some discomfort, I offered $400 debit.

i know i don't want to over complicate this and streamline the process as much as i can. i may try doing the google maps just to make it simple and also adding a image too the pin on the map because google maps is not always current.

As a matter of fact, my guys knew their zoning but they assumed I knew it too...The original plan was to build 4 homes on 4 1200 sqft lots, and the architect went along with this (assuming I knew I would need a variance since it did not meet the 1400sqft per lot requirement) BUT I DID NOT KNOW....this set me back another month because I had to pivot.  

You can fight tooth and nail to find something local but you're most likely to only buy into a lot of headaches.

unbelievable- this is definitely another reminder of how essential it is to screen tenants with a fine-tooth comb.

Driveways, rebuild silt pond for subdivision, driveway entrance to reduce erosion, and Cargo containers for self storage.Mainly you’re looking at assets with 15 year lives or less.   

I'm in the process of getting him on the phone  go through it with a fine tooth comb with your contractor....get more of an understanding as to why he ran out of money etc
