The reason we bought the property is that there is an 8-acre clearing at the peak of one hill which is where we planned to build the future homesite as it has an amazing view and a nice, mostly flat area (see second picture for a bit of the view).

I want an all flat surface.

SECOND BUT - BUT, This is what consumers want, otherwise there would be many more sellers using flat fee discounted brokers.  

Why did the "flat roof" not pass? 

Utilities have been pretty finicky so I finally have everyone moved to a flat fee, which not being on a flat fee caused some hairs to raise with the middle tenant. 

They charge a flat fee per bedroom so it's always predictable. 

Covers advertising, pics, showings, application screening and lease signing.Increasing number of PMCs charging flat fee, but they then rarely advertise on MLS (have to offer agent a commission split to bring tenant)Maintenance Fee: 10-40% of labor & materials. 

This would also mean that any well covering would need to be flat.

A little up, little flat, little more down, repeat…Economist Mark Zandi agrees, “[The Fed’s] got everything they need to start cutting rates…It’s just a question of precisely when.”Why Hasn’t the Fed Cut Rates?

Ideally I can find a debt partner who's willing to gap lend those funds for a flat rate return, since the deals cash flow very well, and I'd prefer to retain as much equity as possible.
