Some are a little more involved due to post Sandy- but can still be very profitable once you are done flipping.

Although there are obvious variable that will determine rates, I am wondering: Did Sandy have an impact on current tax rates.. that is, to lower rates in some towns to attract investment?  

I know I know I know get it removed get it removed or the soil tested.

The $200-$300 dumpster rental you'll also need to get rid of the excess soil around your house will be well worth the expense.

The crawl also appears to be quite moist, since there weren't any vapor barriers set up to prevent moisture from building up.I am worried that over time the soil could shift, causing the supports to give way.

Sounds like to treat soil and tent the property would be $1300.00 and the seller would split the difference.  

One approach might be to rehab the property like you otherwise would, which would include repairing the exterior to cover the crawlspace appropriately, and perhaps improve the drainage near and around the foundation to prevent soil erosion/shifting.  

Hello -I am looking to purchase a home that has been gutted after Superstorm Sandy on the east coast in a sleepy shore town with great access to major cities nearby.

I know that there are no utilities in the lot, and I don't have a good feel for the soils/septic/city sewer situation there.

All three signed the same page on the lease which has all three names, their addresses and phone numbers and rent/security deposit etc.The tenants left so much trash and soiled kitchen, I couldn't show the house to prospective students for the next lease term.
