Our standard email with the bid states, please contact us to discuss & redline to your budget.The only thing we will require are health & safety repairs, to avoid a lawsuit.

I don't really want to invest in a D-class area.Tangentially, what are some of your "it's time to sell this property" red lines when it comes to the changing economic conditions of an area? 

Quote from @Victoria Redlin: What is a good source for a HELOAN or HELOC in December 2024?                            

I just paid my attorney 15k today in just fees for 4 entitlement contract red lines and we arnt even under contract yet!  

But it depends  on who your examiner is to we are building the same floor plan in a 90 lot sub and one plan goes to one examiner and comes right back  same plan goes to another examiner and its got red lines all over the dog gone thing

your talking about redlining  .. i have a client there that has over 250 row houses and each one got financed to take me out of my buy rehab loan. 

Whether intent is there or not, you will be accused of redlining if you spin "red yellow green" or similar color coded market maps to identify places to invest or move.  

Knowing of course that it is an IRS untaught method to their people who Audit return (of our SIC codes)-- An unknown fish so to speak that might cause them to simply redline it costing the customer big Bucks $$$$$$$$$ (and anxiety).The tax savings on a $30,000 write off should buy quite a few Mcdonald's cheeseburgers.

That would leave your living room open to the big windows without that awkward looking little L that the red line leaves in the living room.
