I made great money for 15 more years.... and if I stayed in SFR residential I would be making 500k a year in the bay area with out really doing anything but working my referrals.. but I grew board of working with the public and went in to lending money which is still working with the public but mainly investors.. and of course as James will no doubt attest to there is a LOT o money in the US never know when some person calls you and it becomes a very nice gig.

Hi,I already found one pearson who is french here.

i had to have the exterior basement wall dug out, sealed on the outside with a membrane, and new french drains set up.  

I don't think mold is an issue.as far as the drainage system goes we put in what is like a French drain.

Hi Gino,I appreciate your answer and I would be glad if I could use a similar approach.For a better understanding, let be try to sum up my situation.I am a 73 years old french citizen living in France.

If you are below grade you can install a French drain with gravel in it or you can get a condensate pump to pump it out.

When I read BiggerPockets it literally feels more foreign to me than French.

A french drain would be my first step and it isn't a big deal to DIY if done safely.

I have also put in French drains around the exterior.

A couple thing I noticed:Lack of curb appeal, front needs grass Missing carpet transition between roomsMissing interior door knobsMissing outlet cover in kitchenI would put in kitchen backsplash Burnt out and inconsistent light bulbsPainted wood panel looks cheapGold door knob on exterior French doorNo cabinet pullsLaundry room is how you get to deck?
