Hi folks,My wife and I have a construction to permanent mortgage loan on land+home where we intended to build.Unfortunately, we found out that unexpected foundation work due to soft soil would likely make the project use triple our contingency reserve before even breaking ground.We are exploring our options on how to transfer our current financial obligations for this construction loan to some other loan offering (as moving forward with the project is now too financially risky).

For example, if you are doing a bathroom over and the window and window trim has lead paint underneath, it is only a few hundred bucks to replace that window and trim in connection with the rehab. 

The downstairs neighbor came up to tell my tenant that he has a leak in his bathroom ceiling, which is right underneath my condo's shower.

You may need some other consultants, like geotech engineer (soils report), site lighting engineer, etc. 

Foundation check and soil conditions 2.

Every Google answer I found was it shouldn’t be done because it can contaminate the soils and groundwater.

I buy mobile homes in parks where I own the land underneath the trailer. 

E.g. fire rated construction requirements on main homes, survey & soils reports, utility upgrades. 

If water does get into the seams and underneath it it is a big PITA.I would definitely leave the tile where you have it, because it is much more durable.

I would also explore how much work it would be to move that white cabinet from the left side to the right side including replacing the floor underneath because it probably is not vinyl.
