East Bay AreaI have a 2' x 2' concrete that had sunken down one inch.

Question,Recently purchased empty land, survey indicates neighbor property fence encroaches over few inches to 8+ feet in major area, and another approx. 1,800 sf. parcel off from out empty land.

The pendulum is in the exact opposite phase right now, for everything that didn't need to be verified at all in 2006, now it needs to be verified 3 different ways (80% of the paperwork required you actually didn't even see or provide because it was on the back end, a typical printed loan file is currently about 4 inches thick, compliance costs to originate a FNMA mortgage are about $4000 to $8000 depending on who you ask).

And twenty years later, I can tell you definitively that a lot of guys who worked and worked constantly to do well in their careers for their early years routinely end up running for all they're worth on the hamster wheel of debt and credit, saddled with a wife who can barely stand them and couldn't run a family's finances to save her life.The incredibly stupid things I've heard some of some of my old acquaintances (and family members) doing in marriage sicken me.

It's raw land I inherited and now need to pay tax on......believed to be un-buildable property (10 acres, has a few inches of water so it's called 'wetland') although it's on a busy 2-lane road.
