Master bedroom had a low points ranging from -0.7" to -3.5""The house has experienced settling of the foundation""It is my opinion that the foundation remains structurally sound and re-leveling is not required at this time.During our inspection of the home we came across the following:Noticeable sloping when walking around.Buckling hardwood floors in the master bedroomCracked and delaminated tile in the master bathroomCracked bricks and mortar joints on the exteriorHome inspector said there is definitely evidence of foundation movementPermapier came out to provide a free estimate and evaluation and suggested multiple piers along master bedroom as well as some other areas of the home.

I would be very careful commercial in small towns can stay vacant for EVER and a Day.just drive through any small town between Dallas and New mexico.. look down the main street.. nice brick buildings 90% vacant then on the outskirts of town a walmart and the associated fast food joints..the resi might work.. and maybe you change the commerical to cheap storage but put NO value in its cash flow would be my advice unless there is some compelling reason you think those would be leased.. if there was demand they would not be vacant would be my thought

So keep it joint until all 3 parties are gone and the keys are returned. 

If you ever want to invest in Kansas city, PM me and i will give you the comapay..stay away from them.Even if you get a fairly good property with good rehab work,  it is difficult to make money through turnkeys; most don's cashflow.Do not rely on what your PM is telling you unless the PM is also an investor.....follow your gut feelings..not all PM are good...As a new investor without rehab experience, you will need to build a team; there are contractors who specialise in rehab work; seek them out and let them do a professional job and pay them.....as long as the numbers work, you are better off that buying a TK that you are not sure of the rehab work...you will end up in frustration...Above are my 1 cent so that you dont go through the aches and pains I went through.Happy investing....
