I was in a house today that I'm sure other investors gave looked at prior to Mondays's 2+ inches of rain.

Here in Metairie, LA its a common problem and alot of homes i run across to purchase are ground level, unraised homes that sink several inches to a foot on one side of the house.

Move drain by 10 inches.

I said no I am going to leave it 6 inch's short... he just looked at me and I said of course we attaché it to the fence.

I'm still going to actually measure in inches, and if it fits, it fits.

I got a few inches of water in one of my properties which is currently under renovation.  

Copper pipe is very expensive , especially when you get over 3/4 inch , boilers are heave , removing the old and installing  the new .

The place I ended up renting had the stainless, 42 inch cabinets, stone counter top, and a dorm fridge.

many lenders have tightened their LTVs, particularly for less experienced borrowers. now, we're starting to see trends that are inching back toward generous leverage and flexible underwriting standards. that said, I agree with some of the comments made here about the larger (current) risks of a 'bust' being related to trade wars and the resulting market uncertainty

In recent weeks the frenzy has started to slow and prices seem to be settling down and my guess is they start to inch closer to pre-fire levels.A lot of my investors started asking me after the fire if we were going to raise a fund to get involved in the fire rebuild.
