Non MLS-Looking for a quick close.All brick construction, 38' lot, 3 car new garage, new deck, full basement, wine cellar, new windows, new doors, fresh tuckpointing, plumbing, electrical, cameras, low voltage controls and speakers.

Did you explore handymen that could have jacked up the corner, maybe replace some of the decking and gotten a few years out of it given your situation?

Above is an article I've just read from the Toledo Blade, about real estate investments in the greater Toledo area.

For example, will you need to get HOA review and approval before installing a deck or patio, etc, etc?

Also, I have two capital expenditures that added value to the home, a $2800 driveway widening and a $3000 deck/pergola in the back yard.

I live 40 miles away, so I called the owner of the biggest plumbing co in the city and he and 2 techs dropped everything to get to the property within 10 minutes of my call.I had put a garage outdoor access remote on the outside of the house.. they couldn't get in thru that because THE POWER WAS NOW OFF.Luckily i had put a coded door knob on the kitchen door that opens to the deck-- i gave them the code and they were inside instantly.The water heater was STILL SPEWING WATER full blast in a stream so strong it was hitting the second story ceiling and hitting the ELECTRICAL PANEL also located in the garage and that's what had knocked out the power .The plumbers immediately turned off the inside water main cutoffand sent me photos of the EMERGENCY SITUATION the pm so calmly let me know about by email an hour earlier.i fired the pm co that instant and got on the phone to STATE FARM (my HOMEOWNERS/rental policy dwelling ins co) all whiledriving an hour to the property.i also called the city's best WATER EMERGENCY REMEDIATION COMpany while en route.When i got there, the water was turned off ( finally)the drywall ceiling had fallen in, the light fixtures destroyed, the garage door opener plastic case was HALF FULL OF WATER and there were 1000s of mold blooms on every surface and hundreds of stacks of spiky growing black mold (looked like iron fiilings we used to play with in that game we all had as kids where u use a magnet and drag the iron filings around to put hair and a mustache on the bald guy cartoon photo) the mold spikes were 1.5" tall on the wood railings and stairs going into the house, on all of my beautiful built in wooden garage shelves--- what a mess-- like the streets of Beirut after the bombs went off.and I don't have allergies -- but i could not even STAND inside the garage because the WET MOLD MILDEW SMELL was so strong it instantly gagged me and gave me a headache and i couldn't breathe.So here we are on Jan 17 and now i know that the BEST rental dwelling policy does NOT COVER MOLD REMEDIATION AT ALL ( so far $14,000) but it does cover water damage with a $2500 deductible...

That even includes building a deck. 

It's impossible to "guesstimate" an install cost without a detailed information, such as:• what is this porch supporting (I.e. second level, second floor deck etc.)• footings: are they needed?

One screen broken and burn marks on my pool deck in 4 places, I suspect fireworks.    

Rooftop deck needs maintenance or replacement.
