Not sure if they will do that because I guess you don't know until you dig and see whats going on underground.Any recommendations or feedback would be great.The comps are extremely good for this property but need to make sure I don't rush into something like this and then spend $50,000 to remove it and treat the soil, etc.Thanks.

I have to know the soil can support the load of a project in an economical way.

3bd, 1.5bath, 1124sqft, on ~.2 acres with 1 car attached, 2 car detached garages (nice selling point given my hobbies)Reno Plan:Home is mostly cosmetic issues. remove popcorn ceilings. remove carpet and refinish hardwoods underneath, bathroom and kitchen updating, landscaping, gutters, trim and paint, and some work on the detached garage (new roof).Doing 90% of the renovation myself as I have done work on homes with my dad in the past. targeting a budget for 15k for materials and any surprises that I need help with.

I think I should be able to get it fixed and get out from underneath the Jeep.( $250 monthly payment, plus a $100 full coverage insurance).

Sewage has been seeping into the ground underneath the flooring for several months.

The sign is simple, an 18 x 24 yard sign ‘For Sale by Owner (phone number inserted underneath)’ and a space for a rider that says ‘Flip Coming Soon.’

If you have an accessible attic, inspect the plywood underneath to see if there are any visual current water damage from the underlayment possibly leaking.

You could see every seem and every sheetrock screw under the paint because they were black from the 'filtration soiling'.If there are patterns that reflect any seems or fasteners, this would be my guess... in which case a good coat of paint would help seal it. 

If you have spoiled soil underneath you have to pay to get that re-mediated as well, so it can be more than the 6500 for sure. 

Because it was more of a commercial building before, all the ductwork is in the ceiling, the ceilings are the typical florescent lights and particle-board-ish squares you see in offices, and the bathrooms are small with those classic tiny, heavy white sinks with ugly faucets that you find in other commercial buildings (where you can see the metal piping underneath)Has anyone tried to renovate a building like this?
