Older style mixes with some added sand works best.Outside of that, if you really needed to, you could replace sections with cement block or poured cement.As long as the walls are true and not leaning or bulging, then it's just a matter of maintenance on the mortar from time to time.

Just factor in fixing the reason the basement flooded (could be easy like clogged gutters or extending the down spouts or maybe the sump pump hasn't worked because the electric is off or it could be expensive like digging around the foundation, parging the walls and then adding a french drain or could be real expensive and have a cracked foundation so you need to know) mold remediation and door replacement (if they're really bad) into the renovation figures.  

So, while the dwelling coverage in a landlord insurance policy may help with the repair bills if a tenant inadvertently damages the unit while moving furniture, the costs of cleanup if you discover a disgruntled tenant spray-painted the walls may not be covered.”Do you know of a carrier that does cover he above?

I laughingly suggested we put a gutter in that corner, inside the walls, as water had been running inside the wall long enough to reduce the vertical post to dust.  

it just is never going to hit r9-13 like a wall.

The house was built in 1978 and looks to be in good condition, with the exception of eventually needing new windows and painted walls.

The Green line expansion hadn't been confirmed but the writing was on the wall that it was going to happen. 

It's irrational to lend money out for a lower interest rate than the anticipated ROI from parking it in a Wall Street index fund. 

Wall Street has been doing this for years and years.
