Smaller ones are filling up within 12 hours and the large unit they left with 2x 5 gallon water jugs to empty into AND a catchment below....because obviously the sellers knew that it fills over 5+ gallons in just TWO DAYS.We have had to get a structural engineer in who has noted other water damage throughout the basement (unfinished) that was hidden behind sellers boxes and personal items during our inspection. 

There's an axiom in Engineering that says one problem doesn't cause a failure, but combine a series of problems, and failure almost becomes inevitable.

Engage architect/civil engineering - If you are buying land to start development and not just land-banking, I'd engage with an architect immediately.

FYI - I checked with my insurers about increasing the coverage values, and I was told by the agent that is the value their construction cost algorithm shows and, while my choice, I would overinsure by paying for more coverage.On the surface, it's great insurance - more coverage for less premium.

For Airbnb and VRBO, this manipulates their algorithm into thinking your listings is extra popular.Would love to hear about your tricks and tips.

An additional benefit of a detailed engineering-based Cost Segregation Study is that it can increase potential insurance premium savings as well as provide support for the property tax appeals process.

The past couple of years as L3Harris has begun to move production/engineering from California to the area (cost cutting measure, not political), we have been seeing 10% appreciation yoy or so. 

It looks like they are there to reinforce the decking, but there are no joist hangers or cement footings (down to frost depth).For me...I would have a structural engineer come out and evaluate the footings of the buildings to ensure it's sound.Good luck in your search!

Here's a profile of a builder and civil engineer "Doctor Hemphouse" who has built 60 homes with hemp: https://www.hempbuildmag.com/h... 

There were maybe a handful of us that were engineers that went to ask questions after the pitch.
