In the end, real estate investing, lending or any business is about relationships.So dig a lot of wells NOW and if you do it right, you will not be thirsty of capital :)Do you have any questions or comments?

Maybe a question to dig a little deeper..?

His fix was to dig a trench behind the foundation, and added another wall!

Don the rain suit and boots and see if you splash ANY puddles within 50-80 foot of the house.If drain tile would help dig a crawl space around the perimeter as painful as it is,,,and install drain tile there...it will help by draining  broken plumbing. 

@Keith Harden I dig a TON of digging online, and finally chose Rockwell Institute to complete my online courses.

@John Heffner, While the 2% and now 1% thing that are supposedly rules are good benchmarks I'd encourage you as you move forward in your search to dig a little deeper into the true ROI of your properties. 

If it were me I would weld a heavy steel tab like a 3" section of square tube to each steel post on an angle then about 6' away dig a 4' deep post hole and put a large timber or steel post in it and use my air over hydrolyic jacks to push the wall back.This would at least get the wall away from the house for a few years until you can come up with another plan and the money to do it.I just jacked a house up 6" that had sunk in one corner using four of these jacks, they lifted the place effortlessly.I'm sure you can find someone to temporarily push the wall back and brace it.

So lets say you have an underground leak and plumber tells you that they will charge 3,000 to dig a hole, and then do the repairs. 

Go look into the EPA requirements for watershed protection and tell me if you ever want to just casually dig a footing again.If you're just flipping a few houses a year, it's a lot better (and probably cheaper) to hire a good contractor than it is to become your own contractor. 

We watched a builder dig a hole with backhoe, put all the construction debris in it and bury it.We called city and the builder / contractor dug it all back up..
