Maybe I would invest some of that money in a good thorough course from someone reputable who teaches rehabs. good luck.

Not even double (I do have higher geographic cost).Jobs that make 100k+ with no college degree: sales (insurance, cars, software, medical, RVs, real estate, etc), trades (plumbers, electricians, even carpet layers in my area make 120k/yr).

If nothing comes up for a trusted contractor source then I'd turn to local businesses with a solid reputation and rating among the community.

I would suggest to stay away from memphis as it is the eviction capitol, and generally has a terrible reputation on this side of the state.

I got two quotes from plumbers which one is to replace the whole thing with PEX and doing drainage, and the other is to replace from the risers up with PEX.

@Skyler Harris you can get a free estimate from a reputable foundation repair company, which should include a lifetime warranty.

As a plumber I often get a couple of calls a year from people who are first time home buyers and end up needing major repairs done.

I believe you can keep your maintenance costs much much lower by maintaining it yourself (with the help of handymen, plumbers, etc.).
