Soffit damage due to woodpeckers to be repaired. 14008: Install beams to prevent further movement, and seal basement 14012: Replace wooden beam due to termite damage (located overhead, by stairs).

I am planning on posting a 3-day notice to get the eviction process rolling, however, according to the other tenant in my duplex, his car has not moved and although there are lights on in the unit, there has been no other movement. 

I've also noticed they work best with side to side movement instead of straight on.

the vertical and diagonal cracks are concerning, OH is ground zero for foundation problems, I have stabilized several with horizontal cracking and bowing walls, but this makes me wonder if you have footing movement, I know of several homes here in WI that were built on unstable soil that has caused similar cracking, the houses often sink over time. there are methods to circumvent with piers or coils, my opinion is, if the deal is VERY good and you can monitor year to year and the cashflow is your play, its rare that houses fall down, consider the base value as static, dont count on appreciation in the future. you could be ok. 

You don't climb Everest by only focusing on the top, you have to watch your step and plan your movements all along the way. 

Are you part of the vanlife movement by any chance?

(Note that I'm not really looking for the answer to "find investors interested in a 15 year hold" since we plan to hold the property in perpetuity and we eventually would prefer to not have outside investors in the deal, with proper compensation to them on an exit of course).Thanks!

I personally don’t want her name on the investment properties just so I can have a little more freedom of movement.  

Once lumber prices return to normalcy, I plan to do the top board replacement myself and maybe the footers too, if I'm feeling confident enough :-) Another note: we have really bad clay soil down here that expands/contracts through the year resulting in a lot of potential foundation movement in the homes.

Regarding the movement and handling of personal and financial information with advisors such as realtors, title companies and mortgage firms, how do you send your information?
