I am concerned about that kind of thing, since I'm the "big-city fat-cat landlord" (so NOT!)

I recommend a structural engineer further evaluate and make recommendations related to this observation” And regarding this make-shift supports: “Temporary posts exist in the basement that should be considered for replacement with a permanent support system.A temporary post is noted as a support to the ground that does not appear to be resting on a footer.This temporary support post is holding up a metal beam supporting a large portion of the house.This is a structural concern that should be reviewed by a qualified engineer/contractor”I will include a couple pics as well 

The feedback I usually get is that buyers wanted to assume the loan but the process was lengthy and complicated, and buyers eventually moved on leaving the seller with no equity and option to sell other than writing a fat check at the closing table since they had to continue to lower their price.

Problem:  I talked to a lot of lenders and all of them are suggesting a construction to permanent role but not lending for a investment property. 

Fat forward to today I have a good amount of money saved for repairs that I haven’t contributed to.

Hope there isn't too much exposure but wouldn't surprise me if somebody ends up with a fat fine from the SEC after this.... 

Yes Ron has a referral program, but NO I am not signed up, and if you decide to, I get a big fat Nothing in return. haha.

We had to put temporary line, it costed $600, and I don't know how much it will cost when we do permanent repair.

@Clif Charles, to avoid having to have two separate loans and two sets of closing costs, just use a conventional loan thats known as construction to permanent.

If my kitty was fat enough, I'd take 5% any day and throw my laptop and iPhone in the trash, sleep till 10am and play guitar with my amigo's haha
