Just curious, what do you use to do your walk through inspections: paper and clipboard or electronic device such as your phone or tablet?

@Caleb Clay, if you are doing a few rental deals a year, this is a decent price point.

.- Second, you may have a cracked clay drain pipe that sits outside of the walls, sometimes mid-way up the basement wall, where you'll notice a leak or efflorescence developing on the lower half of the wall.

The portion that collapsed was made of clay and was close to the surface.

I prefer 32205, 10, 20, 21, 22, 34 , 44 and the 320 Zip codes in Clay County.you will have some trending historical revitalization areas in 32206 that are very hot like up.to 300 block and not past 11th st.

Sincerely,Clay

but on west coast were we have clay and gumbo its a big issues. 

Houston is built in the red clay, so the ground moves and houses frequently experience foundation issues (which creates opportunity as well as cost).Wait, you are from here -- what am I telling this to you for?

The house was built in 61, the pipes are clay, the main line had never been replaced- we knew this would be a risk when we bought the home.

Whenever my friends come over to shoot sporting clays at my house, I invite some of my better tenants to shoot also.
