but I'm married to a career Navy guy so this was our last, chosen, stop before he retired in October.I am a physician looking to replace most of my clinical salary so I can practice as much, or as little, as I'd like...while healthcare figures out what it's going to do with itself.

How do I go about contacting the bank real estate department (navy federal) to purchase the property for a discount?

You eed to get the water run off away from the house.I suggest yougt gutters ASAP or a french drain system to keep water away. :)

I see pricing between $65 and $85 per linear foot of basement perimeter for interior French drain with sump pump.

I am a french divorced mother of 2.

As the guys were digging up the foundation for the French drain they accidentally struck and damaged the main sewer drain.

I think it's amazing that a guy like me that has no business being successful (as I never really had that role model to show me the ropes) can find not only the information, but experiences of other professionals, the finesse to get it done right, and the balls to be persistent...excuse my French!

Long term I'd like to buy and hold commercial properties in South Florida.I just came off of 2 back to back deployments with the US Navy during which I spent countless hours reading as many REI books and articles as I could get my hands on.

Some of the very old people still speak cajun french, but most of them are starting to die out.
