Please advise.It would help if we saw pictures of what you are considering.Metal is probably best because it won't dry rot from moisture or contact with the ground and animals can't chew/scratch through it.Any general contractor or a good handyman should be able to help you with this project.

Also, an Air conditioner will work more efficiently if there is less moisture in the air (Houston, Florida, Alabama, etc).  

They can also be a liability however if there is a moisture problem that cannot be easily solved.

The Triplex needed a new roof, moisture in the foundation, Caribbean termites and damage from them.

Something about moisture transfer, but he showed me where bits of mold are starting to form on the roof beams.

I informed them that the reason mold keeps reappearing is because of the moisture in the room when showering.  

Tenant agrees to allow Landlord timely access to premises to do maintenance and repair.Tenant will notify Landlord in a timely manner of any damages or problems as they arise, including damages caused by Tenant, malfunction of appliances or fixtures, and water/moisture leaks and spots.Tenant will take care of the premises, keeping them clean and clear of debris.

(Think prostate exam or a colonoscopy)  Luckily, in my opinion, the banks are much more gentle this time around.  

But there's something different about this dog, his mannerism, his gentleness, his NON aggressiveness, that makes him truly just a big lover dog.  

I'll have to think on that a bit more.So it sounds like next steps would probably be: 1. look into a real estate attorney and what the fees would be to draw up the papers2. gently broach the subject with the family to see what the initial response is3. depending on #2, get a contractor to come take a look, and4. ask my realtor for comps for current value and ARV.THEN I can decide if it is worth pursuing financing and making this happen.
