So you sometimes have to dig a bit.

Excavation and grading for the new parking lot and re-landscaping the existing lot (kind of like dig a hole fill it in).But boots on the ground at the site might see it differently.

Six hundred or 700 dollars a month rent gets eaten up real fast when you need a new roof or need to dig a new sewer line from the house to the street. 

You have to dig a little to answer two questions.(1) The history of zoning code for that particular area. 

Maybe there's a great answer to that or maybe there's something you need to dig a bit deeper on. 

Saying is dig a little deep, and go off of that.

I'd recommend picking up a commercial multifamily underwriting book so you can dig a big more into the numbers of small multisSince you're already flipping, why not start in those markets?

Tired of reading short, numbered posts (hey, they're not for everyone) or just looking to dig a little bit deeper?

Just dig a little deeper.Is there a local ReIA?

They will dig a hole along the perimeter of your house where needed and jack the slab up to install a pier that will essentially level out your foundation.Like others have mentioned, foundation issues are very common in texas (at least 7 out of 10 houses I sold in Houston had foundation issues) but it can almost always be corrected.For rental properties, many investors don't even bother with minor foundation issues.$125-175/pier is the cost for repair.
