I like the Tomcat brand, and so do the mice, yum-yum..Put them underneath the foundations, behind the fridge, underneath the kitchen sink cabinet (you can probably slip them down where the drain goes through the base of the cabinet), behind the stove, and in the attic.Pets, unfortunately, also think they are yum-yum, so if there are pets in the house, go down to the dime store and buy plastic storage boxes about the size of a shoe box.

Among many, particularly if you're using debt for your project, you'll want a phase 1 environmental report, a geotechnical report to ensure the soils are stable, possibly wetlands report and endangered species if you really want to get into it, an ALTA survey and an extensive title search.

I would question how he could reach critical mass of seven figures leasing without a ton of other agent and a network underneath him.

Typically when you clean a carpet you are cleaning the surface of the fiber, and if the carpet is maintained properly this is sufficient, How ever a abused carpet will have soils, oils, urine ect. absorbed into the fiber, into the backing, into the padding and even into the subfloor. 

I imagine with a soil survey and a properly engineered foundation it should be possible to build.

I was turned off when I realized that if I wanted to sell any property underneath the portfolio loan, it would be a BIG hassle.

However, we definitely like a complete set of plans so we know what we're dealing with in order to provide an accurate bid.Digging out a foundation for beams and footing differ greatly across soil types and foundation types, also being the most expensive part of the build, must be as accurate as possible to bid you a good price without change orders, or going back on the original price.

Word of mouth through a friend wanting to get out from underneath it How did you finance this deal?

I would consider long term plans with the house, how prone your area is to soil movement, etc...

The clay pipe had broke and the water had eroded so much soil in the crawl it looked like the Grand Canyon!
