If it is an older home with stone foundation and brick/block walls likely you will need to underpin the foundation while lifting the home and then star bolting any active bulging. 

Many won't lift a finger to do anything.

I found this one off of Investor Lift.

If it’s dead weight, it goes."

This can take a huge weight off your shoulders and ensure you're making informed investment decisions.

I am in the Tampa Florida market and they make a killing here and are worth their weight in gold to the owners of the community.  

This stock income (LTCG) along with the rental properties in Chicago, we have a life of abundance at the moment.With that being said, the rentals in Chicago do a portion of the heavy lifting by eliminating the housing costs completely while adding $1k extra each month to cover Cap Ex and other expenses.

I'd recommend looking at costs. your build cost is going to be well over other homes because of the fixed costs like slab, Hvac, roof, etc. check the market drivers and weight the benefits of short term versus long term. long term is no furniture and help pays mortgage but at this size it doesn't really cover everything. we didn't find a lot of economies of scale in single family detached. can you build more than one unit?

The heavy lifting is in WORKING the deal, not uncovering a potential deal.

If you’re doing all the heavy lifting, a standard agent might not feel worth it.
