When I bought last year, I had no experience at all in the US, so I started investigating on internet and I found some french people who were supposed to take care of everything for me; so they proposed the houses which were supposed to be rehabilited and the property manager.

French laid travertine with grey and oak tones.

If you didn't budget for a stainless french door refrigerator, don't buy it!

He did my kitchen reno, siding/insulation on other side of house, and I just hired him again to take out part of my back wall and put in French Doors.

Well Scott that is a bit of shame for what was originally a French and known immigrants welcome city...dang.

The entire list of plumbing fixes includes:replace tub drain (mechanism toast plus drain was handyman'd out of code)replace water heaterreplace slop sink faucetreplace 2 sink faucetsbring upstairs 1/2 bath vanity drain to code (straight drop and no vent)move gas range feed to original placement in the house (they had it where the fridge should be and the fridge was a huge french door deal where the eat in location should be)re-run gas feed to dryer (utility co capped the line back towards a main joint)That ends up to be way more than I originally thought but it could have been worse.We pulled up the kitchen floor since someone had put el cheapo vinyl faux laminate down (always a bad choice) on top of old linoleum.

Also, French Drains are not that expensive to install.  

All I need is a place to purchase the doors (particularly french or sliders).

I understand that there should be moisture in the dirt but how wet is too wet and how do I figure out if an interior french drain and sump pump is necessary?

I was seeing that banks typically want a LO to be at least 30mos before they consider it a disguised sale and could potentially trigger the due on sale clause.
