Ideas:Power wash house.Power wash & stain the wood fence a nice dark stain.Get rid of all the grass growing up in the driveway.Edge around borders of paved surfaces & trim yard.Get rid of junk shrubs and put something nice in with flowers.Hide garbage cans.I would also pick a nice color scheme and paint the exterior.  

My guess it ends up getting a house built, so long as things like setbacks and impervious surface area (zoning matters) can be in compliance. #10 You already gave the answer, so no guess needed. 

Just like anything else do your due diligence on multiple lenders and retrieve what they have to offer before running your credit.I'm not sure if I even scratched the surface but I hope this helps a little.Just my two pesos.

And I am barely scratching the surface of what I can do with these.

If not, what do you do on stairs and vertical surfaces where I have heard Allure and other options do not install well?

These are some questions you have to be able to answer in order to move forward on this to rehab and I've just scratched the surface. 

See this Link: http://www.benjaminmoore.com/DownloadBinaryServlet...on page 2, surface preparation will tell you what is the minimum requirement for this product.Personally I don't think there is a need to apply commercial product on residential use unless the performance is way greater than the price difference.  

For my first flip it might be a bad idea.Regardless of whether those numbers are accurate, they indicate your "profit" could be a (loss) of $20,000.Your earlier mention of a $20K price tag to externally excavate, install French drains, waterproof, insulate {there is no point in doing the rest and not bothering to insulate}, and backfill would be {more than} adequate under normal situations, but in the hyper-economy of Kitimat, it could possibly be short if major landscaping is also required to redirect and capture run-off.My experience with mould has been it is often like an iceberg - what you see on the surface is only 1/3 of what is present.

On the surface, I would go for the fourplex, but I would a bit more research on the numbers first.Best of Luck!
