As a tip: If you are looking for land to build on, flat land will always have fewer problems. You should also keep in mind that a sloped lot is likely to be cheaper than flat when compared in the same geographic area. In this case, the only thing to keep in mind is that what you save on land, you will probably be able to pay for with a foundation. It's a matter of numbers and personal preference.

In short, a slope of 7 percent for a project is a perfectly acceptable slope for salvage, but it is also true that if there is flat land available in the area you are looking for, it will probably be a better option.
