Unfortunately - my current lot for my primary is 1 acre and VERY sloped, and close to a water source (creek), so the county has not even allowed me to permit my downstairs finished basement without an extremely costly renovation to our septic (over $60,000, and that doesn't count demo'ing and replacing our driveway to get to the existing tank and leachfield), and even if I could permit it, it would essentially need to be a treehouse in the redwoods due to the slope (not a bad idea though, I would actually love a livable treehouse on this lot!

Luckily it was sec 8 so I mostly stayed above water until I dumped it.

This is one of the things that sound a lot easier than they are actually done.The crazy thing I learned about these CA fires is that the heat radiation is hot enough (1500-2000F) that it will ignite your furniture through the windows.

In one of the 3 fundamental human needs (food, water, shelter).

Quote from @James Jefferson: Hi, I have a family member that had a reverse mortgage on their property it's a 3b 1b 1 acre of land heats by oil no hvac and on well water.

Great view with a hot tub. $215k is the offer that is falling through.It's not something we could self manage.

Good question, they seem to be all over the place depending on the area and I am not an insurance specialist, I think typically 1.5-2x normal rates but I could be off by a bit i have been honing in on White Hawk if you know that development and its in the pines but it does have water system with hydrants but volunteer fire department ..

On top of that, the water pipes are on the ground, which is not allowed; they should be run inside the walls.

This hot market is definitely more than just a fever.

I know it was really hot when the remote work model was more widely adopted.
