That one side will have to go up at least 4 inches to be level with everything else and it might mean tearing out the bathroom and redoing the whole furnace and everything from what a contractor was saying.

I am in Southern California, I currently work for a RE Developer and going nowhere fast.

A contractor you know and trust would probably be more helpful than an inspector.

Or maybe he can accompany you with the contractor and be presented as your biz partner.

Should of been disclosed though at the time of writing a contract or sooner.

When I have contractors doing work at one of my properties they are always asking about what else I own and offering to do more work for me.

Realtor help draw up contract, or do I do this?

Scoping out neighborhoods is a survival tactic for me.Physical signs that I look for -* Dumpsters* Contractors coming and going* Elimination of poverty industry (Check cashing places, title pawns, pawn shops) in favor of more bohemian establishments (Coffee shops, box stores, cafes, etc.)* Clean-up and neighborhoods taking care of themselves.

I also happen to have a licensed plumber "in my back pocket" (my spouse) and therefore have access to many other contractors and subcontractors.I look forward to networking and learning on BiggerPockets.com!

During development our contractor put a lot of dirt to level the lot.
