It was under the paved driveway.  

In practice, it means that they'll decline the loan.Given that land tends to be a lot harder/slower to sell than houses, foreclosure isn't all that attractive for them, so I'd expect them to be pretty conservative.If you're planning a new build, I'd suggest that you have a builder ready to go, complete with building plans including new utilities, access, paving, landscaping, budget, timetable, etc. 

Just adding a basic paved lot for residents to store a trailer, car, rv etc.

-With Paved access and parking spot, this might run $60 to $90- Enclosed parking this will cost about $120 to $170 for a 30 foot.- Enclosed parking for a 50 foot, might cost $225 to $350.The price extremes are the cost of the concrete/asphalt road and thestorage bay.

@Kenneth Donaghy - For sure, house hacking to me sounds like a solid step 1 and initial foot in the door that will eventually pave the way for other investment strategies and techniques.

They might be selling for roughly the same price.But the ninety-year-old brick place was built MUCH stronger back in the day, with a much heavier foundation, and the brick veneer and slate roof makes it far less permeable to the elements.

If it's under paving, then look for sink holes starting.On the utility billback, I understand that since Portland has pretty expensive water. 

Very good news. let's hope there is some litigation to pave the way for the other folks that lost $$ to Michigan tax sales.

Driveway gravel, paved, concrete?

My existing tenant moved out at the end of September on his own, which is perfect since this paves the way for me to rent the whole shop/apartment package with new terms to a new tenant.Thank you to everyone that has helped me here!
