DEAR JOE:
I just spent way too much time looking at properties for sale in the city and I am curious about something... if one were to purchase an empty lot that is "ready-to-build" in the city of Seattle, could one live in a tent on said property and slowly but surely build a house? Assuming the house was built to code and all that boring stuff... I just want to know if I could take my sweet ass time, since I don't know how to build houses yet.
sub-question - am I correct in assuming that the property taxes go up each year based on how much structure (i.e., "improvement") is done to the lot?
