Someone getting 5% on 5 million or that is a doc making 1 million a year doing surgery does not need high income potential with high risk assets.I can tell you I know some very wealthy people.

Light fixtures – solid, rust proof metals (especially for moist areas such as bathrooms) rather than coated or plated (or plastic) fixtures.

To be safe with anything except a fairly new house, you’d really need to excavate around the house, parge the outside of the foundation with an asphalt/tar product, install a dimpled plastic membrane over that, and then on the inside, fastidiously install rigid foam on the floor and walls, spray foam/tape all seams, etc… Then frame, then drywall.Seems ungodly expensive.

We would always tape this to the inside front door with a clear plastic cover.Here is a link to the formhttp://michaelquarles.homestead.com/repair_process.doc

If just yours are gone and others remain, it's being done by your competition.Full disclosure, in my area if I see one of those cheap plastic signs that says "We Buy Houses" on it, it is HISTORY

The internals are mostly plastic, allowing them to easily be broken with a specialized tool, or even a screw driver, and show no external signs of forced entry.  

I got this tip from a floor re finisher, who even recommended covering the floor with plastic to keep the enzyme liquid in the floor for longer before evaporating.

.* Put W-2 work search on pause, since surgery is coming up in less than a month.* Registered and start my classes online for Software Engineering on Saturday, and will be saving the tuition assistance payments the VA will be paying out.* I spoke with an investor yesterday and he mentioned going the seller-financing/subject-to route, which I am totally open to.

I had the floor replaced and the guy put down a plastic barrier and used some "heavy duty" spray from Home Depot.

Then there was an issue on the HUD and the sellers wasn't able to be there because he had a minor surgery.
