If you live in Philly, you should know which are the go blocks and the no blocks.

Worst house on the best block. 

Will see how it's shapes up for due to some other constraints like angle of stairs coming down and movement of drain pipes.

Free attorneys from tenant-support groups are very effective in finding ways to block and delay.PS: for anyone interested in supporting our landlord legislative efforts please join the Rental Property Association of Wisconsin RPAWI.org which is a Milwaukee-based non-profit.Cashflow in Milwaukee is still possible at current interest rates, but you have to be careful to not "buy cashflow" with a huge capex liability that comes with old buildings! 

In general, the order should look something like this:  excavation, inspection, footers, inspection, foundation walls, damp proofing, drain tile/sump pump, inspection, backfill, plumbing (if you are putting anything in the floor of the basement like a stub for bathroom, drain, etc.)

Slab over Basement, Wood or Block,  Many factors come into play.  

Thanks Evan, these are the type of answers I couldn`t seem to get specifically unless it was through non accredited investors that been around the block in those circles (outside of Rise 48 and Spark Rental).

You're going to have to do a lot of blocking and tackling to find good vendors.

Then I would give that number to the tenant and block their number on my phone's main number.

What I can assume is most AZ HOA's don't allow building new structures above the height of the exterior block walls.
