@Grant Shipman Great stuff, I'm a big fan of co-living/rent by room strategy, and I do it here locally in Denver metro, and it is the best strategy in today's market for any house hacker to live for free or make money while living there, but they have to sacrifice personal space.

@Anade DavisHi Anade, You’re on the right track with reaching out to your survey and engineering company—they often have strong connections to local contractors.

What worked for me was listing on multiple platforms - Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and even local community bulletin boards.

Going over maps of known repairs with contractors showed that there were a few houses where people tried to have piers installed and ran out of money before hitting stable soil, others in the hyper local area did have to go to 100+ ft.  

Great idea, but check your local regulations.

All are local to me in a non-vacation rental spot.

I'd check local zoning ordinances to see what is permitted. 

I’m local and happy to connect if we can help. 

I would encourage you to find local REI meet-ups in your area.

As I said, check with local banks and credit unions.
