It's only a "problem" for someone else who comes along and tries to sell the house from underneath you during that limited time period.Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong and this is a bigger problem than I think it is.I don't personally do it and I probably won't for the foreseeable future.

You would be responsible per the EPA to clean it up and you have to keep digging and re-testing until you get clear margins on the soil all the way around the site. 

You may already have hardwood underneath.

Hey everyone, I have a question about leasing mineral rights if you don't mind.If I lease mineral rights underneath my property to a company, and then sell my house to a third party, does the company keep the mineral rights, or do the new owners get the mineral rights?  

Once you heat the paper/ glue underneath, it peels off easily.

When I get the text I click the link in it and it gives me a popup box reading AUTHENTICATION REQUIRED (bold, not caps), with regular font "bgrpkts.me" underneath, with two fields for username and password below that.

Solid hardwoods will last you 50-100 years, if taken care of and refinished occasionally.If you have tile or a slab, or something else underneath, then I've been going with laminateBut if you got the hardwood use that.I don't know what the lifespan on laminate is, but it's not 50-100 years.

I have a house I'm looking to wholesale but I have a concern about the roof.It was replaced a couple of months ago and the seller thought that the roofers were pulling permits but I can't find any evidence of permits being pulled on my city website.The roof was a tear off and a secondary moisture barrier was installed underneath.

You don’t try to turn the rock and soil into gold.

By the looks of it i would say your Dad is right, it looks like the concrete has deteriorated due to water. you do not need a foundation co. just hire a mason to cement it back up inside, but first take care of the cause on the outside, get that leader pipe to drain away from the house by either extending the pipe above ground or dig a shallow trench and run a pipe under ground away from the house. also make sure the soil around the house is pitched away so that water moves away from the house.
