Find a great GC who can point out any possible gremlins inside/underneath the surface.

They're pretty much maintenance free as long as the soil is acceptable and you don't put stupid things down into it. 

I wasn't sure about the "umbrella" tax strategy where you had an S-Corp and underneath you have a bunch of LLC's with a different property in each LLC and I assumed they would go to the bank when already made the LLC and get it under it's name with no other assets and if they would get a non-recourse loan if they did that.

Tenant wants to stay.He tells me that the bank he bought it from told him the underground gas tanks were removed in 2012 and you can see the spot in the soil where it's been disturbed.

The home is a 3 bedroom 1.5 bath expanded cape with a garage/basement underneath.

The only reserves that I have is there is a cracked soil line near the kitchen and possibly cracked under the base of the house through the concrete that leads to the street.

The link underneath gives the full details for the zoning ordinance...http://www.sanmarcostx.gov/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?

And, it's quite common in structures that are elevated (not continuous foundation/slab) where animals die underneath the property. 

Should save us a ton.Removed carpets and hardwoods underneath in great shape, May save us on flooring and just have a pro come do them. 

Sorry if I was confusing but my concern was water going underneath the tub but a knee wall would be a a good idea.
