Does that also include rebuilding any masonry (chimney(s), parapet walls, etc.)?

I am an owner of a masonry business and a self storage unit facility, as well as managing several of my own rental properties.

Building advantages: Substantial savings vs continuously poured foundationMuch less framing material needed due to post frame designLarge wall cavities permit insulation of R30-R40 in the walls and R50-R60 in the ceilingRadiant flooring can be economically installedLeads to very high energy efficiency with utility savings of 20-40%Conservation of building material, reduced energy usage, and minimized disturbance of soil all contribute to "green" aspectVery rapid build time of 45-60 daysCan build through winter with no issues (slab can readily be poured inside framed home)Metal roofs are highly resistant to hail damage, and insurance cost is normally lessExterior is 100% maintenance free and will last for decadesStructure design has very high resistance to damage from wind, seismic, and snow loads (superior to stick-built)Free-span structure facilitates open interior spaces, cathedral ceilings, and stylish loftsExterior can be accented with stone, brick, and other materialsStylistic external use of masonry accents, dormers, gables, and waitscoting provides attractive appearanceMaintenance free aspects and one-level living could be very appealing to seniors who are downsizing, particularly in structured communities with some common walking areas or other inexpensive amenities.So there's some more color.

I have a single family rental home in the Albany area. 6,000 sq.ft. joisted masonry, built in 1900, assessed at $140K.

Also if the property is older, masonry construction, central heating and/or hot water it can go higher too.

Then buy railings with mounting feet, drill holes in concrete with masonry bit and secure with concrete anchor bolts.

I subbed out a few critical tasks, like electrical, HVAC and some masonry work, but I've learned how to manage those contractors in the process.

I'm now starting to wean myself away from that.My grandfather was a contractor (mostly masonry work but he did carpentry, painting, and almost everything else).

I used to work for this masonry company (who's giving me a quote) back in high school and am familiar with the level of work needed to be replaced, however I was not involved with pricing so we will see what they say on that.The homeowner is age 70 and supposedly bought this house for his kids to move into but then they moved out of state this year so he has no need for it--not sure how true that story is, although I know he is 70 :) He is not an owner-occupant.Assuming my numbers and estimates WERE correct or very close, what would you then think of this deal?

I've heard of products you can paint on the interior side of concrete or masonry basement walls to "waterproof" them, so perhaps that would be one option if there is slow seepage/intrusion.
