Well.. you got yourself a big beam right there in the way of a straight shot for the HVAC duct.

Was it just beams or did you have to do a dig out and drain tile?

There was some white discoloration on the basement beams but it was very minor.

If you are dealing with an addition built on 12" beams (or if the original foundation is old and not built to current standards), the repair company might not be able to push the piers down to refusal depth or psi due to the beam not taking the load, thus leveling it, but not guaranteeing it will not continue to move in the future, thus not providing warranty.9.

Some spots do need to be reinforced with additional beams but that’s it.

This means that if the $60k flood damaged house you picked up for $20k needs $30,001 in repairs, plan on spending another $30k to raise it if pier and beam or $50k+ for a slab on grade depending on size.

The beam in the basement looks fine.

The other focus would just be to find a place that didn't have major cap ex expenses right up front.I don't think I'd necessarily be laser-focused on refinancing every penny out of my first deal. 

The house was an older pier/beam style house with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. 

That way you can be laser focused in not only your goals, but the path to take to get there.
