Oh yeah the Google platform tools are also free for our relatively small footprint of usage.

In fact the 92024 zip code boasts of some of the most expensive properties in all of San Diego County.We are installing a 1x1 foot footing with an 18 inch rebar reinforced and concrete cell filled block and mortar stem wall  around the entire perimeter of the footprint in order to support the new interior drywall, exterior Hardy Board Cemetitous siding and a 12/12 pitched metal roof.I'd say that's a pretty safe bet considering we're going to have to spend close to 75k (our cost as contractors) to strip it down to the bones and rebuild it from the mainframe up to and including the roof.

I am interested in reducing my renters carbon foot print, without thinking about it.That's all I can think of at this time, I'm sure I'll think of questions and ask 'em to ya, so keep your eyes on me!

@Rob Harris Many times the local banks lend in a particular "foot print" and are not able to lend outside of those areas. 

I'm going to explain to the seller he needs to have an environmental test done to see if in fact the ground is contaminated.

You have no obligation and neither does the environmental company have, unless it is obvious that there is the scent and oily appearance, then I think the company has the obligation to report.  

250k is not realistic. the existing house footprint/square footage could be the maximum build already, so no expansion is an option at the price point. 6 months to evict, 2 months to renovate, who knows what condition it is in, 2 months to sell.
