Thanks again to XXXX Underground for the fine job post 11 - basement development Developing an inner city basement has a number of elements that must be carefully orchestrated into the finished product; the hole has to get dug in the right spot, so the surveyor is essential before work begins the excavator must get the hole level and at the proper depth at the bottom of the footingthe engineer must take the sample for soil bearing and sulphate content of the soil, this will impact concrete selection later (the mix is variable depending on the project requirements)the engineer must already have developed plans for the footing rebar detail and thickness, and wall rebar pattern.

You're going to need a thick skin and a great team to make it work over the long run.

Quantities on the property  you offer on will get you in the thick of things.  

Im ususally rather thick skinned on the contructive criticism.

Others feel they do not know enough to comment on things.I want to make it very clear that ALL of US as BP Members should take into consideration when posting or commenting to a new member, that they may not have the "thick skin" it takes to be in this buisness (YET) and we should approach each of these situations with a bit more compassion and understanding.

You'll be right there in the thick of everything while the building is happening.

Next time put a strip of wood 1/2" thick across the back of the space before laying in the plywood false-floor.

. - An agent that can think out of the box and has "thick skin".If there is anyone out there on BP who can help by recommending or any agents themselves who are interested or know of an agent who wants to make money. 

After all, if that something goes wrong, that lender is in second position and may lose everything.But approach a banker with your idea and see what the banker says.WARNING: develop a thick skin first.

Don't get excited there is only 1 that I saw and it is a duplex in Lawrence.Though it did look to be in decent shape and have 4/1 units for a list of like $209K.If your skin is thick enough you can probably get like $1300 in rent for the other unit.
