I do most of this part in my day job. 

Hi Gavin,This is fairly common, and it’s great that you’re thinking ahead about how to handle utilities responsibly.

Certainly not trying to leave my job today, but someday.Current: I am sole income of our house hold.

This is very common with local banks and credit unions - they dont have the infrastructure or volume to sell into the secondary market and simply choose not to offer those products in their business model. 

I am told that foundation problems are common in this part of Austin.

I'm looking for a team, an agent that with knowledge both on/off market deals/neighborhoods insight.....good GC, efficient and can accommodate multiple jobs and property manager with that is experience in section 8 housing.Appreciate hearing from you. 

That is why most of them just let us do our jobs. 

This can be cap ex to the building's common elements or cosmetic like a new lobby that you as a landlord may not view as a worthwhile investment but the owner occupants may.

Better job hiring contractor.

My wife and I both have full time jobs, take care of our 2 boys and I have spent almost every day off for the last 8 mo working on this house.
