Bob B. we installed french drains, added dirt around the foundation to push water away, added drains for gutters, and extended all downspouts away from the foundation.  

@William Johnson  I triple what @brian @Brian Gibbonsundefined  said...If they want to stay in the house, then you take it sub-2, get title and do a wrap...But only after you've confirmed their current financial situation with bank statements and trip-mergeEven then...refer to rule 1...what Brian said...IF you do a wrap on it and they file BK..you could be hosed for a loooong time...I'd tell them the only way you can take it (assuming it makes sense)  take it over sub-2, they go get a trailer to live in and you do a wrap or LO to another buyer. 

However the unit had a living room and a dining room, plus a kitchen big enough for a dining area, so we put french doors up to turn the living room into a 2nd bedroom, and got $600/mo rent up there!

Also need a landscaper to quote install of French drain system.

Unless the entire city is sitting below water level or in a pit that causes heavy flooding (I've heard of neither in the news) I don't see why install a french drain across the board.

The name sounds French to me but you mention living in what I perceive as the Ukraine.

What's an estimate on a 100ft french drain installation at a residence?

Owner had french drains installed since hes owned the property which seems to have cured any water issues that it's had.

Yes i am aware of that FIRPTA; however it is not the biggest bad news for us french investors.

i'm not saying that you should not be proud of where you are from, I'm from Ireland and French-Canadian, i'm very proud of my heritage, but please do not discount the distrust that Americans have for the Nigerian scams
