If the stucco is applied near the ground, it will tend to erode faster and collect mildew.  

I worked with a developer once that insisted the street coming in to the new subdivision had to be paved because you couldn't have people spending $500k for a lot driving on gravel, despite the fact that utilities weren't in the ground yet.

I would have little to do with the ground work, but to do that I would be putting alot of trust with him. 

If you have a group of five equally talented people, they will obviously be able to do more work than any individual so the benefit of having good wholesalers is that they can cover a LOT more ground than you can by yourself.  

Say if I run an outside electrical, exposed pipes need to be rigid if above ground, and PVC for below, but it doesn't say I cant run them all above ground instead of embedding it on the ground, so I could.

I have hit the ground running and have few potential deals in the works!  

Condos are almost sold out and they haven't even broke ground yet.

I've found a piece of ground (2.6 acres) that is priced very reasonably. 

Hi @AnthonyGreene, I currently have two ground up construction projects here in Philadelphia.

Don't try to hide this from your agent, they have solid grounds to exclude claims if you are VRBO/short term renting.
