Hell, I'm working on an FHA deal right now and the appraiser pointed out an exposed piece of wood with dry-rot on the tiny little tool shed in the back that's not even attached to the house!

Like some of the others have stated above we are in an upward trend and the newbies are coming out of the wood work and it's not just on BP.  

The final straw was the non-stamped drawing that I received today that has no spans length identified for any of the beams and also has several locations where a lateral support is identified as wood on drawing S1 and then identified as steel on the detail drawing S2.

The sellers did not bring in a licensed remediator - they brought in a contractor, who treated the area (a wood area, I believe) with "germicide and a bleach solution".  

I just hope LA continues its momentum towards a "true" world class hub city so all of that glitz can lead to greater equity in my neck of the woods. 

@Austin Jacob wood if Ohio is anything like Texas any Broker in the state of Ohio can be your broker. 

I have found information stating that a typical wood billboard (not very interesting to me) costs about $25k and a metal (more likely what I would use) billboard would cost about $65k.   

Cost to build the billboard is 25,000 for wood (25yr life) or 60,000 for steel (50yr life).

What sort of appreciation can one expect on a wooded lot on a lake?

WPC stands for WOOD PLASTIC COMPOSITE kinda like decking material.
