Both the home inspector and the rehabber felt that the leak had gotten into the wall and rotted out the framing.It turns out that the foundation at that end of the house is only 1 foot deep - and that's why that wall had settled. 

Also, I would like to get extra deep cabinets for the areas above the microwave and refrigerator.

For any place (suburb or neighborhood of Cleveland) you are curious about, spend some time on google maps, and use street view to do a deep dive into what the streets, houses, etc. look like.

Also, my firm, which is a national firm, we have State and local tax specialists so we have deep resources.

The good news for you is that Indiana is a Reciprocal state with Pennsylvania ( use form WH-47), which means you do not have to file separate tax returns for each state. you may have to file for the income made in that state to them but you do not have to report income from PA to them. it does get complicated - Nj and PA are reciprocal states and my properties are in PA and my CPA is here in NJ. i suggest you hire a CPA, tell your wife it is not that you do not trust her, you just want to relieve her burden of doing the now complicated taxes.
