yurt living

[jdirgo]

There's these people called "appraisers" who go on-site and view the property...

They can recognize a yurt.

And yes, I am sure. I know from experience where the contract only mentioned "all structures and improvements therein and thereon" -- no mention of a yurt at all -- the appraiser called after going on-site and said "It's a yurt. I've looked and there are NO comps on the island that have sold that I can use".

Yurts have been approved in other places where they could find comparable properties. Remember that comparable properties have to be similar not just in size, number of bedrooms, etc but also in such things as "method of constuction and construction materials".
