I'll be out of state so perpetual headaches are something I'd like to avoid.

Good on your friend for continual movement and growth towards his goal!

This and the girder beam will require the building of temporary walls.Due to foundation movement and water/termite damage there is some sage in both the first and 2nd floors of the house that we will jack up in place before we set the house back down on the new foundation and piersThe basement is half dug-out,half crawl space, so we will build a block retaining wall across to prevent any further wash-out from the crawl space.The brick front porch is falling away from the house, since it's tied into the foundation it is pulling the house with it.

It's a way of accessing money compared to a hard money lender, but I am not exactly sure why everyone is so excited about it.  11.25% isn't exactly something to jump up and down about. well the fact that it cant LEGALLY be used for real estate seems like a moot point  LOL.. but as stated people will violate that every day and twice on Sunday not thinking any thing of it..and it gives the limited cash high Fico borrower access to cash that helps them with their projects.. just like the guys who go out there and charge you 5k to get you a bunch of zero interest credit cards.. and the CC know that many will not pay them off then they will go to the 20% rate and they have these folks hooked for life in perpetual CC debt..

If you have the right subfloor for tile, or are willing to replace what you have with what you need (plywood, hardibacker, additional labor), tile is the best product.Search youtube and BP for installation tips, but the basics are:-level, 3/4" subfloor - no movement (sometimes requires shimming or replacing joists)-layer of hardibacker or cement board -plan and play with your start/end points and layout with tiles before mixing any thinset/adhesive-aim to avoid "skinny cuts". try to have as many whole tiles and half tiles as possible-for floors: use a thinset (mortar based) product to adhere tiles to floor-for walls: use the thinset OR pre-mixed glue adhesive to adhere tiles to wall-after proper dry time, mix grout and apply to all seams.

It has a ridge vent but it doesn't appear to be allowing any air movement.

Thus, my exposure to interest rate movement is limited, and I protect against disasters with an interest rate cap.However, when using fixed-rate debt, your exposure to the risk of prepayment penalties (known as yield maintenance) is guaranteed.
