I really wanted to buy a home for the family so my parents wouldn't have to walk up and down the stairs every time they left the house.

Did you price a sub-contractor on a cement retaining wall or they don't allow those ?  

I'll take your money, give you info you could have gotten for free on BP, then push you down a small flight of stairs.

All the floors & outer walls were solid poured cement NO CRACKS anywhere.

There was an empty fifty gallon trash can full of cement that took more than two men to move.

I know my mortgage will be covered by the two bed room unit up stairs.

We are wondering if an A-Frame home can be built from a walk out basement ( cement block built into a hill ) with the 2nd floor being the A-Frame roof which would cash flow?

Any surface that a child could conceivably get it's mouth around can not be made intact (painted), this includes anything that sticks out more then 1/2 inch like stair treads, railings, balusters, columns, shelves, shelf supports, counters, fireplace mantles, window sills, baseboards, pipes, door/window casings, and pretty much everything else that could stick off your wall.

And on the way back we have an accident, I hit a patch of ice in Dallas and slide out of control thus bouncing off of the cement barriers like a ping-pong ball.
