Not the self sealing kind, just the normal #10 with the "lick to seal," v-flap style.  

We bought a rental on the mls that was listed for $59K for $33K.Good lick - Ned

Slab to wall connections in basements should include a pvc bulb or hydrophilic (lick & stick) waterstop. 

@J Scott  well shoot  I was waiting for another pearl.. right when I think we have this licked.. we get our butt kicked.

As my favorite derelict who used to hang around my old warehouse from the neighborhood used to say, “What had happened was was”……contractor turned out to be an incompetent, window-licking muppet, largest tenant moved out, rent declined for 2 months, my part time help all got hired away, and because I had the stupid idea that it would be easier to get all the work done myself and then go chill, I promptly burned myself out.This was accomplished by not much other than sheer willpower, and the lack of ability to delegate, implement systems, and the small fact that with 3 tenant suites added on top of my semi-ambitious-yet-I-Think-I-Can-make-it-work construction budget, my wallet became a small furry doe-eyed creature dropped into a pit of vipers.

This year I'm planning on restocking my capital (licking my wounds) and resting up for the next one!

I already got an idea of what I was dealing with, but I'd lick to hear some feedback if anyone has anything to offer.

I would vote to lick your wounds and move on.

So you can either discount the home and lick your wounds, place a renter/lease option or continue down your current path.  

That should erase the image of a greedy corporation licking their chops.
