Good point Andrew. I'm getting a roof installed with gutters as well. I just thought it was strange there was water only in the basement and not upstairs. After reading these responses, I think I will hold off on spending money on the water proofing and foundation repair and revisit this issue after the completion of the roof and gutters. I already have mold downstairs I plan on removing so that's work scheduled anyway. If the new roof, tuckpointing and gutter installation prevents water from showing up again in the basement, this post will save me thousands of dollars.

 Thanks for the response Matt. I'll take action on those recommendations. 

Had multiple guys reach out to me on several projects. When I say email me your contractor license and insurance info, I never hear from them again. Am I off track? How are you ensuring folks are legit? 

Doing my very first flip. Got a new roof scheduled for next month and getting tuck pointing completed now. Had a home inspection last month and the inspector said the foundation is solid and GTG. It rained yesterday and I have no flooding in the upstairs rooms but I have standing water in the basement. Verified that the water is turned off to the house but now I'm wondering if I should spend money to get the basement water proofed. Have any of you guys experienced an issue like this and what did you do to resolve it? 

Getting my LLC off the ground. Want to sit down with a CPA or Accountant so I ensure I setup my accounts properly and understand taxes for LLC. Looking for recommendations for one in the St. Louis MO or Chesapeake VA areas where my LLC's will be located.

So  Kyle, when you say kicked around, are you referring to being screwed over by contractors? Tenants? Property Managers? What area are you referring to mostly from your experience? 

Just got my 1st property last week. 

Just bought my first rental property out of state and started my LLC. Looking for a CPA or Tax Advisor in my area that can help with real estate taxes. Any recommendations for one in the Hampton Roads Virginia area?

Good Stuff Jerry. Wish we were closer as well. House was given to me by my father whose name is Jerry as well . Kinda funny a Jerry responded LOL. Good advice. Greatly appreciated. 

Taking over my parents house. Been sitting vacant for 5 years. Lots of repairs needed. Got an Home Inspector next week but Im sure he will point out the roof. Going to start from the TOP and work my way down. Trying to get any good recommendations on a contractor for the roof. The Google approach has not worked well to this point. The guy agreed to a free estimate and didn't even show up.Guy didn't even show up.
