You're in an area that's going nuts.

@Daniel Siapin  agreed until you talk to the city or county you have no clue as to their tree ordinance.I portlandia and were i Live in Lake Oswego they are nuts over trees but trees cannot preclude you from building in the legal foot print.. it affects us on land use IE subdividing but not infill lots.Also negative grade homes if they are not common in an area are tough to sell.. in some areas Like Birmingham AL comes to mine most of the homes are either negative or positive grade.. the positive is you might be able to do a day light or walk out type construction and pick up some cheap heated space.In my logging days we would have 1/4 acre slicked off in a matter of 15 minutes  LOL>

at least that's my thinking... anyone agree or you think I am nuts.

@Maeve Cummings ,Hi Maeve, Yes, I know Inglewood is going to be a tough nut to crack.  

I work for a hard money lender her, and while it is certainly fruitful for the owners it's not necessarily the easiest to find qualified clients.Like anything else, it is a grind, but I happen to like it.That said, the rates are being pressed downward as the competition is fierce

Terms like "DTI" drive me nuts when I'm buying a property that's going to increase my "I" more than my "D"
