Hi BP Community,I'm new to real estate and home construction, and I recently bought a house (has a crawl space on flat land) which has about 4 inches of settlement on one corner of the house.

Note It is an old brick  building with old school foundation that had a few inches flooding on the 1st level recently that needs to be repaired thats why I'm weighing all my options.All advice welcome thx

Now, if i raise it a little bit more, I get vaulted ceiling (more potential resale value + another rental with a tall loft style bed ) 

It's a drainage issue and when it "floods" it get a couple inches in some spots and quickly goes out.

That said, the price hasn't moved an inch.

An inch quickly turns into a mile in this business.

Consider finishing several inches of the outside edges of the treads and risers, and doing a carpet runner in a simple but very elegant material, different from the upstairs, maybe in a subtle pattern.Then, gotta replace all that outdated tile in what I assume is the entry, and make that guest bath an absolute KNOCKOUT! 

It's a good 4 inch crack down the pipe and it looks ceroded.

So you already k is you need to dig six inches.2.

Especially in the kitchen area where the top of the cabinets are less than six inches from the ceiling.
