Occasional flood of lowland?

Particularly Angela, a 7-month-old western lowland gorilla, spotted clinging to her mother’s back.

Construction costs are very high and even with our low land basis, we need the 421-a programs and tax incentives to think about building.

If a piece of land is listed as mostly low lands - would you be able to construct on it?

I believe the reason that its assessed at 55k is due to the fact that on the property appraiser website most of the property is listed as low - lands.

If someone builds on a property, they either do it on their dime, or buy it outright wrapped up in the mortgage.prices for 5 acre parcels around here are anywhere from 20k-up all kinds of variables, water, views, location.This market is a little difficult to project, because of people coming here from out of state, low land taxes, no state income tax, no zoning.

Aside from listed "problems", I can think that some negatives *may* be that:It may be on low land/inclined to flood/poorly graded propertyIt would *definitely* be hard to commute into town in the winterThat being said, you can over come those hurdles by looking for tenants who want to be near the River trail, yacht club, and state park.

We're talking a 9.0 quake and the regional disaster crews just held a drill:  http://www.theheraldbusinessjournal.com/article/20160607/NEWS03/160609401 I hope that his family home is on high ground...As for myself, I've completely stopped looking at saltwater frontage and the lowlands east of Everett, except for the TDR credits that I can clip off to resell. 

I will be at the Next lowlands REIA meeting and I hope to see you all there again.

Michael, $65/sft for new construction seems really low.  Land
