Any advice on a septic/alternative septic install on a small <1000 sq ft home for 2 people, as well as re-tophousing a tin-roof?

Smart professionally, but real ****** from a human nature standpoint.One who did was so delinquent in getting back to me that the tenants missed the boat.I can control my professionalism, I can't control others. 

If you have a full-time job with a good salary, you may have a 401K that you can take a loan against.The alternative is the HELOC on your personal residence.I don't think you can really go wrong on the two HELOC options.The difference in rate is less than $100 / year per $10,000 borrowed.If you go with the 5 year HELOC, you may be able to do another HELOC in 5 years where hopefully you have more access if your home appreciates more.

My name is Thomas I’m currently in the construction field working on natural gas pipelines.

In many cases natural appreciation will do the work to build equity for you as well. 

Yes, it was added sometimes, but your statements are extraordinarily misleading and hysteria-producing.Extremely low levels that appear simply because a material is naturally sourced haven't ever been show to be a particular danger. 

OR, maybe it's not far fetched to think that what's happened in the Bay Area in terms of politics/supply/demand/rent control is the natural progression of things.

Sometimes my brain gets all jumbled when I listen to the podcast and hear how Brandon says to ask “How can I make it happen” and hear some of the stories about partnering up and things of that nature.

So the concept is, whatever peril befalls the guest - illness, car troubles, death, job loss, natural disaster - we may, at our own discretion, assign the damages from that peril to you, the homeowner. 

The keys that I’ve discovered up north is to build your relationships with realtors and people in the trades to get the best beat on what’s for sale off market, and to keep an open mind out for alternative uses for buildings maybe no one else wants that you can purchase for a discount and then repurpose easily to fit your needs.
