Some industries and companies have not adopted it yet, but some big names on Wall St. have, and I think more are coming.

Thank you Ned, that is exactly right, we actually check a condo/townhouse about 2 weeks ago, the thing was a condo with a basement, I cannot tell if it was a condo or townhome, anyway, the ceiling in the first floor was bowing, the 2nd floor, one of the bedroom was sinking, could not tell how this damage was done but the walls came apart from the floor, you could see the roof of the unit bowing inwards towards the structure a bit, and their "general contractor" estimate that for 5k they could straighten the property and level everything, even 1 window and 1 door looked so uneven that you would think  there was something wrong with your eyes...5k for structural damage, good luck with that one, we ran as far as we could from that....but we have seen they do inflate their ARV, since we learned the hard way , we go through these deals with a magnifying glass, I knew I was not so picky, numbers do not lie.Another thing that caught my attention, which I do not know if I am overly suspicious now that I am older, but they want to get the closing for us at the same time/day they are getting the property from whoever they buying it, which it seems to me they try to save on the closing by having a "dual" closing when in reality is just 1 closing and we are the one paying for it...I do not know there are few things that do not click right with this folks.

Will the lot require a retaining wall?

@Jaron Walling Thanks for the reply!

also there are smart lock where you can use usb charger in case the battery is dead.

This helps protect the walls, woodwork, and floor covering while moving things in.

I’ve gotten quotes ranging from $6,500-$12k to repair and waterproof the exterior walls, plus there's the added cost of repairing and repainting the inside walls.

Removing non-load-bearing walls to create a more open and spacious floor plan can significantly enhance the appeal of a property.

We recently discovered mold showing up in the basement walls.

Also just replaced carpet and painted the walls because there was water intrusion from heavy rainfall.
