Now though, I wouldn't touch $100 per door with a 100-foot pole.

Last week we were able to pour our footings which is what the second image is of 27 yards of concrete.

I have a 5 bedroom 3300sq foot home in California which has a significant amount of equity.

on the Bungalow homes, which typically have wood beams and piers that sit on individual concrete footings, the footings & piers may also need to be "straightened" because of 100 years of rain and wind, or replaced due to rot (not often, since they were built with heart pine).  

Now he wants me to foot the bill.

Listing too high can still be shooting oneself in the foot depending on your location/market, even in a seller’s market.If you like your first Realtor, have an open discussion with them about your concerns.  

It is not an easy market to get my foot in the door but I'm thinking of it as a long run, will continue to analyze deals until the right one comes up!

.- Improper footings/foundation - They have done some work to increase stability but looks as though it was not permitted, as is sometimes typical with early 1900s homes, there are no footings underneath the vertical foundation wall.

Some of the quotes I've gotten are more per quare foot than if I bought a new existing house.

I wouldn’t touch that property with a ten foot pole with that tenant presently residing.
