Thanks JD! Im going to have someone take a look at the joists in the basement. The issue there is there was actually a fire in the basement years ago. So some of the floor joists are a little charred so I'm curious how jacking them up would affect their integrity. Prior to purchasing the home I had a structural engineer inspect the joists and deemed them safe and satisfactory based on the PSI and solid material remaining, but didn't notice the floor dip until after the tenants vacated the unit. 

Hi All, 

I just purchased a 2 family home in Providence, RI. Currently, the first floor has a some pretty substantial dips in it. I'm not sure if its the sub floor or the joists underneath. 

My question is: Should I go through the repair prior to renting the unit? Or should I wait until I have more cash saved to repair down the line. I don't want to risk spending too much time on it losing out on potential rental income. The unit is in decent shape and definitely livable. I've attached some photos. Would love to hear some opinions on what actions you all would take if in a similar situation. 

Hi Guys, 

Hoping 'Im in the right place. Looking to get my MA Real Estate license online and then reciprocate it to RI as MA allows online courses. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on which school to choose as there are many online options available. 

Thanks!
