If you were to live in the home, you can put in beam jacks, move in, and then raise the house in spots a bit every week or so.Since I feel that time is of the essence, your contractor, with verified insurance and a license, will be busting some plaster.

Hello all, the past year I've had a laser sight focus on real estate investing(mostly rentals), and just took a recent trip to AZ to where I have family who have done this successful the past 20 years.  

Get a non invasive moisture meter and  a laser thermometer. you total investment will be well under $75 but you will use them constantly to keep yourself from being a victim.

We have been laser-focused on potential Cap Rate & NOI.

As I've heard Brandon Turner mention often time, is all about laser focus, know what you want to do and stick to the plan.

Many where I invest were originally post and beams over crawl spaces, but the additions may be cement slab.

That part of the floor had fallen because it no longer was supported by the main beam. 

Find what you enjoy and become laser-focused then build a team that can support your weaknesses!

Something I learned...you must be laser focused and identify what type of property you want1.

The owner says “we were under the impression that you were removing the beam on the back wall when the drop down ceiling was removed, you didn’t tell us that was staying.
