Mainly because I was looking for "year round travel" AND friendly regulation.

This is a really high expectation especially if you are just getting your feet weet + investing long distance. 

It is a heating cable that is 6 feet to 30 feet long generally.

Yes they are $99 but if you are starting out at least for now its safe bet til you get your feet wet. 

I'm not sure you are doing as bad as you think...And keep in touch with the second one especially, maybe even do a thorough walk through, etc so that when no one else bites and they get more ancy, you have more information than anyone else.Be nice, walk away, then have a bunch of those properties on your "second round" and I suspect you would have a decent hit percentage.my partner and I have bought a couple this way...especially good idea in somewhat illiquid areas...Jon

Do I round up or round down for the number of unit I can build?

I didn't like what the agent was sending me for property listing and got cold feet.

In my experience, only 1 bedroom window is required to measure 4 square feet to allow for a fully equipped fire fighter to enter.

So I will round my total up to 151,600.

@Francois Acosta Is the land sinking yes, but I haven't heard of it causing major structural problems yet, there are some areas that have lost over 10 feet of elevation already, but always look at the individual property.
