Most water intrusion is due to improper drainage and can be addressed simply by ensuring the gutters are in good repair, have downspouts and extensions and also make sure that the soil is graded away from the foundation.

At the same time a good buy and hold duplex came on the market today that has been fully renovated in the past 5 years and is being offered at a very good price that will lead to a healthy cash flow. 

To top it off if it is already a platted lot and I have the soil testing done for septic I could get all the permits in an easy morning.

If we eat healthy every day, the weight will come off. 

Settlement may be caused by undersized pier bases, water ingress into the crawlspace, expansive soil, etc.

Hi Ellie,I was the Analyst for a property in Boston that had slight soil settlement and required an engineers report for further evaluation after the Appraisal was done (which was made "subject to" the engineer report).

Considering a 10+ unit residential commercial property if one already owns the land, has everything else in order: civil engineering, soil survey, Phase I, and architectural blueprints...if the owner was forced to sell due to lack of financing and or some other reason does having those things necessarily increase the value of the vacant land?

Be an amazing opportunity to Network with a diverse group of leaders while staying healthy in this tedious weather.

Sounds like persistence and a healthy dose of skepticism will go a ways to keeping one in the game.
