Story tim.
I was playing cards with a big tim real estate developer. Due has done warehouses for Amazon and 500-doors of multi-family. No slouch.
He was telling me how he was doing a deal with another broker who was bragging to him, "I've never lots an Earnest Money."
He responded, "I wish you would have told me that before we got under contract. I wouldn't have worked with you."
Poont being, land can be such a bitch that walking away from Earnest Monies are a necessary cost of doing business.

Fuck all this bullshit. Contractor came up to me on Friday and said, "the electrician who just came in to give a bid wants to pull a permit". Like fuck he is. Fuck that guy. Get another electrician. Other construction guy says "my uncle is a retired journeyman electrician, he'll do it". This was for four canned lights....so not rocket science. Maybe 3/4 of a day's work at most. Ceiling is still open so simple.
Easy peazy. No fucking inspection, no fucking hassles.
These fuckers just want to get shit done and they know when they need to deal with the gubmint and when they don't.
War Idaho!

This all sounds so awful. I had such a bad experience I truly never want to deal with zoning/building safety government ever again.

yah, i was remodeling the bathroom in a 1922 beau arts historically significant building and the window was too small for code.. the window was out getting rehabbed and the building inspector was in to evaluate the plumbing when he spotted the window and glibly stated that we needed to be aware that window replacement would require bringing it up to current code and that it was a good thing that we had not removed the window [we had] or we would have a major problem.
You never know what the inspectors are going to say next or what could possibly trigger the next inexplicable issue. -
